Quebrada Grande Menagerie

Buenos Dias! I know it´s been a while since I last updated, so if you´re still reading the blog, thanks for sticking with it. I´ve got a year in review post coming up in a few weeks that will have more comment, but for now here are some pictures from Quebrada Grande.

After months of searching, I finally found some sloths living in my site. Unfortunately, they don´t like to pose for photos, so you´ll have to put up with these fuzzy ones.





After exiting the forest while following a very narrow trail, I looked down to find this guy crawling on my shoulder. You might not be able to tell from this photo, but the stick bug was about 6-8" long.

One of the golden-hooded tanagers that have been flying around my house the last few days. In person the yellows and blues are even more vivid.


A blue-headed parrot. These guys prefer to hangout at the tops of trees and like the sloths don´t like to have their photos taken.


Unfortuntately, these guys don´t bring fruit loops.
