Around our own garden we see a variety of wildlife, especially insects, that seem impossible to describe. Here is a stunning blue fly that we found. It’s real - we didn’t paint it, although it looks like it! We set it on a loofah sponge grown from our own garden for this photo opportunity.
WOW! Here is just a sample of some of the new moths we have sighted in our garden and outdoor kitchen. The photos don’t do justice to how large these moths are - they are huge!
Check out this howler monkey video to see them jump from tree to tree behind the C & J gardens. This other howler monkey video shows a common sight for the people staying at C & J Cabinas in Playa Chiquita, as these howler monkeys are found all around the property.
Take a look at this three-toed sloth seen just down the road from C & J Cabinas in Playa Chiquita! Both two- and three-toed sloths are found here, and you will be very lucky if you get to see one. This is because sloths live in the trees, and only come down once a week to go to the bathroom.
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.
We’ve seen the Green Honeycreeper before, but this is the first photograph we have captured. Notice the black mask, yellow bill and red eye in addition to it’s beautiful blue-green color. This beautiful male was seen feeding on our coconuts in our backyard.
