As land is developed near the town, there are not enough contiguous trees for the monkeys to travel, so they use power lines and get electrocuted. The locals put up bridges between trees to reduce this. There was an amazing artist who painted the large painting you see in the background and auctioned it off at the end of the night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b7ca054f407b42605897b4a/1540437839134-9O0R8G8HJIU0GSE84T9I/IMG_6645.JPG Blog - Costa Rica February 2018 Great tailed grackle are sort of like the crows of Guanacaste - they were everywhere stealing food off of tables, picking through the leaf litter for bugs, and generally providing entertainment for us idle folk.

It’s 7 acres backing up to the Tenorio national Park, with the Aguacate River on one side, and a rough road on the other. Lots of wildlife, birds, protected from the prevailing winds, nice views, and private. We’ll see if this is our new home! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b7ca054f407b42605897b4a/1541018089784-0ZZG77WK736ETSL6BM37/2018-02-11+12.01.43.jpg Blog - Costa Rica February 2018 A day trip to Rio Celeste, in the Tenorio National Park. The unusual green/blue color is due to combination of two different streams containing minerals from the volcano and combining together. At the point where they combine the river turns blue. By the time it gets to these falls, it’s changed to a bit greener. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b7ca054f407b42605897b4a/1541018028633-7SJICQQKTVSO1N8IB8YO/2018-02-11+12.05.38.jpg Blog - Costa Rica February 2018 Here’s a gratuitous selfie. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b7ca054f407b42605897b4a/1540662027606-E550CQZ8LJWPI240SOEP/CE4AEC21-A8F1-4A6B-84FC-F3A4F2CAB907.JPG Blog - Costa Rica February 2018 The ever lovely Motmot.
