We're here in the rain forest of Costa Rica, managing a Tree House B&B, where the tree houses (seven total) are high amongst the trees...our neighbors consist of loads of hummingbirds, some monkeys, sloths, frogs, snakes, iguanas, geckos and various other critters...we look forward to sharing with you some pics and blog entries as we continue on our jungle journey...

A hoot and a holler. . .
From Efron and Miguel at the Yiguirro tree house. We can talk abut the animals here until we are blue in the face, but you all really need to get down here to experience it. (Two of the three faithful readers know what we are talking about!). . .

The waterfall. . .
Which is at the end of one of the trails here at the hotel. It's about 1-plus miles to get down there (all downhill getting to the water, all uphill getting back) and at this time of year the three pools are all overflowing. The main pool is in the middle, and the waterfall is further back with another pool. The center pool drains into another, smaller pool. All are fine for swimming, and they are drained and cleaned weekly.
During the dry season (December through the end of April) when it doesn't rain as much, the pools are kind of puny, with not a lot of water, but the river (a 5-minute walk from the waterfall) is great for taking a dip.

For the birds. . .
This is a Blue-Crowned Mot-Mot. A striking bird that we are lucky enough to see a lot down here. The tail is long and splits into two pieces, which look like tiny tennis raquets.

Yes, we are milking
The photo-ops here. For just a little one, though, look at the claws. This one still has an iron grip and those claws are sharp.

Here's a closer look
And you can see that the little one is pretty tuckered out. It was a bit on the soggy side as well, with the rain.
