Other than Great Kiskadees and Great-tailed Grackles, Lesser Greenlets seem to be, by far, the most common bird here in Tortuguero, though we do not catch them too often
While we hear Howler Monkeys every morning and throughout the day, its a lot easier to get looks at Spider Monkeys
A few shorebirds! Like this ocean-loving Whimbrel.
Cayman (and crocs...and I guess Crocs© too)
Turtles, of course, but this river turtle cowers at the mere thought of the massive greens and leatherbacks that will soon arrive ocean side
There are ants everywhere. Tiny, gold, army, leafcutter, flying, crawling, swimming, falling on my face while I set up nets, etc.
Why is that Cayman above you? Why do greenlets look like Tennessee Warblers? Who put lipstick on that turtle?
