Wildlife

A Roseate Spoonbill This funny looking bird uses his large bill to stir up the mud to find shrimp. Eating the shrimp gives it a pinkish color.
















A Basilisk Lizard. Also known as a Jesus Christ Lizard because it runs on the water.































Find the wildlife in this picture. It is a Common Potoo, which is also commonly referred to as a "stick bird". This was 100 ft. up in a tree. This is the second one that Jim and I have seen and they always seem to be sleeping.


































A Northern Jacana


This bird was walking around on the watercress in the canals.

























A chestnut-mandibled Toucan. These birds have a very distinct and loud call. This bird was 100 ft. above us.


























A red eye tree frog. We had fun hunting for them just after the dusk.




















A Caiman, a relative of an alligator.
