Highland Forests of Costa Rica

We went to N Central Costa Rica for a few days to see the sights around Lake Arenal.  We get a lot of together time but it is never quite enough and this was a nice getaway.  A nice man took this picture of us in the Monteverde Cloud Forest.

 


These coatimundi are not a bit shy around people and we were in a noisy crowd on a guided hike when this one came to see what all the fuss was about.



This bobo bird is reputed to be the Nicaraguan national bird.  I got the name from a guy selling timeshares on a street corner, so it must be true.  Yes, he caught but has not yet consumed breakfast.
