That seem to be mating on a leaf in my garden. Just one more intriguing photo from nature! :-)

This is all I can share about today (Monday) but I did a lot more with reports later. I walked 6 miles up and back the beach from hotel to downtown Puerto Viejo. Quite interesting. Photographed a lot including 4 or 5 different species of birds. Didn’t get in my room until 2 because last guests were late checking out. Got a massage on the beach to help me relax before my gourmet dinner of Sea Bass +. Exhausted and going to bed by 8 with a 6:30 AM bird hike before breakfast, then a slow day tomorrow. 🙂

| Ash-throated Flycatcher is a rare migrant in Costa Rica. Here one is in my Yellow Bells Tree at end of balcony, at end of rain. |
 |
| Zoomed in a little you see the hint of yellow on breast like the other flycatchers. |
“The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”

| The 5 Suitcases Are Lined Up Ready To Be Packed |
They have been lined up in my living room for quite a while and soon I have to do a dry run packing to see what will actually fit in them. I got the three hardbacks in a large size to go with my two life-time warranty soft bags. In the meantime I’m still trying to sell furniture and this weekend started packing my art collection. Books and art are what I really want to take. Furniture is so available there and with really nice woods. Though I may decide to stay with furnished apartments and not worry about furniture at all. Simplify!
