For the last several weeks, I have been scouting, qualifying, gathering, hauling, storing, and devouring my fill of mangos—a wonderful fruit. After weeks of plenty, alas, the season is ending, and we are down to our freezer reserve of our last six mangos.



Every day we are treated by hummers at our feeder.



It varies, but just about every week or two we are visited by monkeys of some species or another. Here is a shot of a white-faced monkey



Sometimes they come alone and sometimes the whole family hangs out leaping and swinging. Much to Jack’s dismay, often around dawn we hear the booming voice of a male howler monkey giving us a wake-up call. Here is a short clip of a typical howler hoot.



Quite often, a stroll or a walk brings out the coatamundis and agoutis going about their business.





For a day or two each spring, we see great blue herons hanging out in out trees by the water before they head out for their next destination



We have a few cats in our neighborhood that like to harass our pup, Jackson.



Speaking of Jack, here is shot of him on duty and one with his best buddy, Toby.





That’s it for now.

It’s a great time to be in Costa Rica!
