Birds of a Feather

So have I mentioned the birds and butterflies I saw in Costa Rica? It really was amazing. The birds were stunning. My days in Costa Rica started like this: I would wake up around 6:30, put on my bathing suit, slather up with coconut oil, no SPF, and grab my binoculars and flop down on a lounger. I would spot parrots, kiskadees, humingbirds, magnificent frigatebirds, pelicans, and Hoffman's woodpeckers all from my oily perch. It really was splendid. I love seeing the birds. When I was in the stinging forest (see earlier blog) I saw toucans, great morph butterflies and scores of other brightly colored birds. It really was a visual feast. Now, back in zone 5, I think back on the tropical birds and am truly honored I was there. I will absolutely return to Costa Rica.
