    We also saw a posse of cockatoos on the walk to school yesterday morning.



    There are loads of these guys around as well, and they’re usually pretty loud!

    (I wasn’t sure what to call a group of cockatoos strutting down the street like bad-asses, so ‘posse’ seemed to fit just fine)

    Nope. These are monkeys in the wild. But they are used to people and apparently like being fed watermelon.

    Our daily walk was VERY warm this evening, but made more pleasurable by our trail guides:

    Going to an early morning massage appointment and spotted this critter doing their morning ablutions.

    Mother Nature certainly has her quirks which to some of us mere humans can be a bit disconcerting.
    Here we have a beautiful iridescent beetle that our cat Annie pounced on and nearly did in. It's from a group of beetles (family Buprestid) with the common name Metallic Wood Boring Beetle. I'm fairly certain this is a Golden Bubrested.
    Anyway, this beautiful creature is also quite destructive. It is one of several beetles wrecking havoc on western (and probably elsewhere) forests.

    Apparently a group of iguanas is called a Mess. So on my last day in Costa Rica I stumbled across a mess of iguanas. Tomorrow back to NYC where the pigeons are my main wildlife.
