Another good spot to just sit and watch - if it's not too steamy. The Trogon has a weird, harsh call and the Cochoa should be high up. The Cochoas are very slender birds and the one I saw was very horizontal on its branch, tearing away at something. White-crowned Forktail can be found on the path after rain and Indigo Flycatchers are usually fairly abundant 6. As a result of the Gede eruptions rocks and boulders litter the area.
Many fresh springs emerge here providing a good source of drinking water.
The area is relatively flat, consisting of a saddle connecting the peaks of Mount Gede and Mount Pangrango. The vegetation is transitional from montane to sub-alpine. You can sleep here but its very squalid and usually wet. The birds here are a little scarcer but anything you see will be interesting. The only place I saw Sumatran Green Pigeon and Whites Thrush .
