Thief Caught in the Act

Can you believe it?  Not only do we have the normal challenges of gardening in a tropical environment, but the local lizards are munching on our precious cherry tomatoes!  This is a common basilisk…it was found taking a big bite out of a tomato and then ran away with his find.  We hope it was tasty!

Banana Feast!

Check out this red legged honeycreeper found feasting on a bunch of ripening bananas in the C & J gardens! This honeycreeper is joined by another bird species, and species interaction is a common sight here at C & J Cabinas. Playa Chiquita is an excellent spot for bird watching, because many different Costa Rican bird species are found here.
