I'm going to minimize complaints and just bombard with images. I'm a terrible photographer, so its very lucky that I forgot my charger at home and ran out of batteries really fast.
Tortuguero: Land of the Turtles (The Amazon of Costa Rica)
Cappuccino monkey (or something like that)
More of the same monkey, I think he was mad at our boatman who was making monkey noises. I call them Brandie and Frankie.
I think this is a slated tail trogan. The guide had a heavy accent and my handwriting is mediocre.
green emerald basilisk. I thought he was a leaf for the longest time before I realized that he had a tail.
Thats a toucan. I think its a colored arcari, but then again its such a terrible picture that I can't tell. At least you can see colors on this one :D
Its a laughing falcon. I think. We plowed into some weeds and stayed for nearly 10 minutes taking pictures of this guy.
I'm not even gonna pretend to know what that bird is. Yes it is a bird, I do know that much.
Some kind of quail. There were a lot running around and you could hear them cheeping, but I didn't see any babies.
They aren't flamingos! Unfortunately I have no idea as to what kind of bird they are. Still the pink feathers are cute, no?
Uhh.. Yay pretty birdies!
More pink birdies! The less pink looking on in the left with duller looking feathers is an adolescent.
The Rainforest: Where its very very green and wet.
Dude I'm so proud of this picture. The reason why I ran out of battery so fast is because I spent so much time chasing around this hummingbird and his buddies. This was the one clear picture I got about 30 minutes after I gave up, and then saw him sitting still on a branch. For once I win!
Omitted are the pictures I took of bugs on the walk, and the pictures where I got smacked by a stray leaf on the aerial tram.
Active Volcanoes: Not to be confused with dormant, extinct or moody volcanoes.
This is an active volcano. Apparently it spews stuff from time to time, but the smokey stuff is just fog. Or so they say. Won't even pretend to know which one or where this is.
