It is a type of Strawberry Poison Dart Frog, Oophaga pumilio (my gallery link) which is very popular with tourists and found in warm moist tropical forests on the Caribbean Slope and Coast of Costa Rica with a few overlapping into Nicaragua and similarly Panama, thus uniquely Costa Rican! 🙂 These two shots were made this past week in Tortuguero National Park, Limón; one on the grounds of Tortuga Lodge and one on the Jaguar Trail in the National Park.
Photographed on my last morning in Tortuguero (yesterday) and these are probably my favorite bird photos bird photos from this trip. 🙂 Chestnut-colored Woodpecker, Celeus castaneus (linked to my gallery. I’ve seen this unusual woodpecker only one other time and that was in the South Caribbean, at Manzanillo. Tortuguero is in the North Caribbean. It is found from Mexico to Panama. And this is my first time to see a woodpecker eating a flower! 🙂
