| There are two different type of toucan's in Costa Rica. Look for the other one at the bottom of the post! |
As the kids just went off to a very chilly Georgia morning at 39 degrees, I am here on the couch with a wool blanket from the highlands of Central America nursing a bad chest cold. To help get into the spirit of Central America, thought I'd share some images of birds from trips South.
We stopped at a cafe just outside of Alajuela on the way to Doka coffee estate and the owner, a little old woman, had a row of hummingbird feeders on her porch. They flew in an out, hovered, all colors, all sizes. It was breathtaking! It was very difficult to get a photo since they were so quick, darting in and out. Sadly, there was an earthquake the following year and the road to this area was destroyed.

| Cutest little Tiger Heron ever! |

On the Caribbean coastline of Tortuguero town, this little guy was on the edge of the canal. Perhaps he was waiting for his mom to come back and feed him. He stayed very still and I took many photos before I backed away not to scare him further.

| Here's the other bird--a Chestnut Mandible Toucan! Now if only I could remember the other name... : ) |

I was embarrassed just looking at this one--he was so angry!
