Tea and Kate

Feb 18, 2017 (Reid’s Seventh Birthday)

We were at the end of a week of travel and exploration with Tim and Sally, and staying at a nice little hotel in Brasilito, near Tamarindo on the Pacific Coast. Liam and I woke up a little before 6, as others were sleeping in. We grabbed the binoculars and camera and hit the road. The day before we had seen a crested Caracara on the drive to the coast, so we were excited to see what else there was to see.

Here’s what we saw:

• A white-winged dove
• A brown pelican
• Orange fronted parakeet
• Orange chinned parakeet
• Common tern (most likely)
• Common ground dove (probably)
• A troupe of howler monkeys
• A white-throated magpie jay (these are awesome)
• And a dead puffer fish, all inflated with it’s spikes out.

In short, it was a good walk.
