This Central American squirrel is endemic to Costa Rica north to Southern Mexico and is the squirrel species that lives in my garden. In this photo he is dining on a portion of the Cecropia flower in the Cecropia Tree adjacent my terrace. He scurries through all the trees much more than the iguana and is a part of the garden wildlife that keep me entertained. See more of my photos of this guy from all over Costa Rica in the GALLERY: Variegated Squirrel or Ardilla Chiza (español), Sciurus variegatoides (scientific name). ¡Pura vida! 🙂
¡Pura Vida!
P.S. – Landslide blocks road yesterday!
One of the preferred routes between Atenas and Grecia . . .

This happens on a lot of roads here, even the big highways, because to cut costs they did not cut the hills back far enough when constructing the road initially. Maybe its a case of “you get what you pay for!” 🙂
¡Pura Vida!
