Typical Forest Scene at Pierella Ecological Garden

Описание: This video is an example of why using a video camera has some advantages. In this case, I set the camera up and went to have lunch and came back an hour later having no idea what I had captured until I look through the footage after dark. From memory these are the birds that visited the White-collared Manakins (juveniles) court (Manacus candei), Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina), Clay-colored Robin (Turdus grayi), an unidentified Dove, and an Orange-billed Sparrow (Arremon aurantiirostris).

Another trick I played because it was video, and if you go back and look at it you'll see it, was footage of the Orange-billed Sparrow. The Sparrow did not stick around very long and I was able to cut and paste short video clips to allow you to see this beautiful bird.

This leads me to the idea of expanding Pierella Ecological Garden from the present 5 hectares to 8 hectares. One of four guiding principals is to strengthen and expand biodiversity. This video shows biodiversity with 5 different species of birds visiting this "little Manakin court" in an hour.

My GoFundMe is raising funds to expand Pierella can be accessed on Google as, GoFundMe "Rain Forest Expansion in Costa Rica." One of the purposes of this YouTube Channel is to heighten awareness of Pierella's secondary rain forest and its role to increase biodiversity and strengthen ecosystem services, which contribute to sustainability, and, integrates it as a wildlife corridor.
