Blog 9: Butterflies!

Here is a test to start things off…can you find the stony butterfly in this photo?
For many of us (including me) it takes a while…what a master magician!
Speaking of butterflies, here are other beauties to view in order: One-spotted prepona, another one-spotted prepona, dirce butterfly, gray cracker butterfly, red postman butterfly, split-banded owl butterfly.
Just to add a little variety to this blog on butterflies, here are some plants from our deck; not great growth so far but fingers crossed.
Almost every day after their park walk, we perform a ritual with windows down and excitement up. We drive to the top of a nearby hill searching for Jack’s Lizard. This reptile lives in a tube that exits by the road and comes out to see Jack on about half of our trips. Tell me you have more excitement than these two.
We are fortunate to see this bird pretty much every day.
Here are other good-looking birds: the Hoffmann's woodpecker, the plain-capped starthroat, and the rufous-tailed hummingbird.
Finally, after scouting critters all day, here is our handsome Toby taking a rest.
See you next time. Pura vida!
