Costa Rica Butterflies
Enjoy the butterflies. I don’t know the names, they are certainly beautiful. Some pictures were taken in the Butterfly Garden in Monteverde and others were taken in Drake Bay on the Osa Peninsula and at Hotel Bougainvillea in San Jose.

Costa Rica – More Favorites
I have to mention my great guides. At Aquila de Osa, Drake Bay on the Osa Peninsula, Carlos Gonzalez, clgonzalez08@gmail.com spotted them all. He promised scarlet macaws, toucans, monkeys, caracara, iguanas, trogons, ringed and belted kingfishers, boobies, black hawks and much more.

Costa Rica

Everything But the Wheatear
All the serious birders on the east coast were at the Croton Train Station Boat Ramp a few weeks ago getting a look at the very rare wheatear. I saw mention of it, but never took the five minute trip to see it. I did manage to photograph my usual subjects.
