A tender moment between a baby mantled howler monkey and mom. Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.

A red-capped manakin. This colorful little bird does a mating dance that looks just like Michael Jackson’s famous dance where he slides backwards. It is so funny, and mesmerizing to watch in person!

A yellow-throated toucan, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. Seems like every bird in Costa Rica is colorful!

A crested owl, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.

Happy New Year everyone! I tried to be a night owl last night but tapped out before midnight. 🙂 We did get a nice visit from our striped skunk.

Tent-making bats taking cover under a giant leaf, Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica.

A Scarlet macaw in flight – hard to imagine a more colorful bird!

This is sure a colorful snake.

Back in my University days at UC Irvine, our mascot was the Anteater. So, I was really hoping to see a real anteater in Costa Rica, and that wish came true on one of our last days there! This one is tearing into a termite mound. Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica.
