A cool and breezy morning throughout Town, with temperatures in the high 70s, a 5mph breeze from the northeast occasionally switching onshore, and a few clouds slowly drifting out to sea. Two prominent sounds arise as you descend from the main road down through town: the gentle rustle of the foliage blowing in the wind and the intermittent chorus of local Costa Rican birdcalls, which today was predominantly *paloma aliblancas* / white-winged doves (*zenaida asiatica*), with a few other scattered calls.

Aside from these more common birdcalls, there was also some chatter from groups of *pericos frente naranja* / orange-fronted parakeets (*eupsittula canicularis*) on Paseo del Mar. These parakeets arrive in October, [as part of their regional migrations](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/the-daily-wednesday-october-12th-2018/), and this is the tail end of their season in the area, but there are a few groups remaining, well camouflaged in the trees but very vocal close to dawn and sunset.
