December 14, 2010 - Iguana in Tortuguero National Park.
On a boat tour in TNP, we spotted
spider monkeys,
howler monkeys,
caiman,
herons,
egrets,
kingfishers,
toucans,
turtles,
and yes, iguanas.
The fauna allow close access & can be captured with a 70-200mm with an SB-800 flash. The boatman gave a bit of Tico history, how they evolved from turtle eating to logging to eco-tourism lodges, all in the last 15 years. Now tourism is the biggest contributor to the economy, turtles are a preserved species, and logging is illegal.
Spider monkeys are tiny black monkeys with long forearms, longer than the legs, and a tail so strong they can hang upside down by the tails. Caimans are mean-looking smaller sort of crocs. Iguanas blend in very well atop coconut trees and are hard to spot.

on March 29, 2010An individual crane spends about 29 days along the Platte. During that time, it will deposit up to a pound of fat, which provides the energy necessary to complete the migration and initiate nesting.
