Here are just a few more of the interesting species seen around base. (sorry if the pics are out of order) We have very large American Crocodiles that are often seen sunbathing on the river banks. One day we went out there and 3 huge guys were out basking at the same time! We watched them for a bit but as the boat approached to pick us up they all made their way back into the water. It was awesome. Next is the male Amazon Kingfisher, one of 6 kingfisher species we survey for. You can tell it´s a male from the rufous colored chest band while the female has a broken green band across the chest. The frog is the poster-child of costa rica, the red eyed tree frog. they are really beautiful. Finally, here is an image from one of our night cameras. Our compost heap tends to attract night-time visitors and this night we had a Kinkajou! It’s probably not good that it is coming to feed on our leftovers, but definitely makes for cool pictures in the morning!
