Happy, happy time. . .

Coming to the end of summer down in Costa Rica, and that's the time when the sloths, squirrels and monkeys are holing up to give birth and bring up the youngsters.

We've been lucky the past few days to see some enormous sloths hanging out in the trees, just waiting to give birth. One, in particular, is the largest we have seen.

There is a small baby with the family of howler monkeys and it has started to get off of its mother's back and do some climbing on its own.

The squirrels aren't shooting around as much and snagging up the fruit for the birds, as they have already loaded up in anticipation of the little ones coming along.
