Montezuma Oropendulas are another amazing bird species we saw in Costa Rica. The male makes a unique gurgling sound and dips down and back up while holding onto the branch, which I did not manage to capture, much to my chagrin. 🪶

Danger noodle! This Fer de Lance was spotted on an outlying area of the lodge grounds where we were staying in Costa Rica and they allowed us to peek around the corner and take pictures. They planned to relocate it somewhere else. 🐍

So this happened on our trip to Costa Rica. Fortunately not MY hat and the member of our group eventually got her hat back. The moral of the story is - hold onto your stuff if capuchin monkeys are around. #BadMonkey #wildlife

After our initial tour in Costa Rica we took a few extra days to go to Monteverde in hopes of seeing the Resplendant Quetzal and succeeded in getting some shots before it disappeared into a hole. *happy dance* 🪶

It’s #Caturday and there is much purring from Cheesecake because we a finally home from Costa Rica. The purring ensures that I won’t immediately kick him off of the table.🐈
