January 2022
I have traveled from the coast to the rain forest over the last few days. The beauty of the land is why you come to see in Costa Rica, so enjoy.
BIRDS
I am not a birder so I will fail to name most of these, I apologize. Many that I saw were tanagers or trogons
Red Beak Turkey
Blue Grey Tanager
Aracari
Green Parrots
The one on the left is a woodpecker
A Macaw
ANIMALS
Sloths, everyone’s favorite Costa Rican animal
Anteater, this one was hard to capture, I felt really lucky to get this shot.
Variegated Squirrel
White Nose Coati travel in troops of as many as 12. The troops are only females. Once the males have done their thing the males once again become lone rangers.
Capuchin Monkey, there are several types of monkeys in Costa Rica, this is the only one I caught a picture of
Yep there are even raccoons in Costa Rica
Animals in the Sea
Spotted dolphins, which are very hard to see. They aren’t as egotistical as their cousins the bottle nose, so they tend to keep to themselves.
Sea Turtle I saw while snorkeling
Star Fish
Orchids found while hiking Volcano Arenal
The last days of a Lady Slipper
The Spanish Flag Orchid
