Perch

Perch

I took this in a butterfly house - the large butterfly is a blue morpho feeding on mashed up fruit. The little one is a Hamadryas (I think) trying to get a closer look.

Hummingbird

Hummingbird

The best hummingbird picture that I managed to get. Quick little devils. I need to practice more.

I'm still working on identifying the species - Costa Rica has 51 species of hummingbird, so this might take me some time.

Coatis

Coatis

I was with a group, waiting for our transport to arrive, when these little guys put in an appearance. I'm sure they were expecting to be fed (no luck there). Terrible light, and not much time for a shot, but I couldn't resist including them. Coatis are members of the raccoon family, but they have the size and demeanor of cats, particularly in the way that they hold their tails high in the air. Wish I'd managed to get those fine tails (which are striped) into the picture. There was quite a large family, nine or ten of them including some babies and they were all quite adorable. But then, so are raccoons. Aren't they?
