Cano Negro is a place near the Arenal Volcano where many wild animal species find refuge.
Juan Carlos drove us to the edge of the water and we got on board of the boat navigated by Mango. This guy was really amazing. As he was going along the water his eagle eyes were scanning the water the trees and the sky all around for any sign of life. He spotted over 20 different species, where any average person will see absolutely nothing. Some of the wild life fit in so well in the background, even when they shined on it with a strong light some of us could not see it. The binoculars and telescopic cameras came in very handy.
Here are a few photos I managed to take with my iPhone:
Egret:
Northern Jacana:
Turtle:
A strange looking bird was swimming with its neck out looking like a snake: Ahinga Ahinga.
Then we saw it out of the water drying it's wings in the air and it looked like this:
We also saw: Iguana, Mangrove swallows, Bats sleeping on tree trunks in a row, Cattle Egret, a 2 toe and 3 toe sloth, Snowy egret.
We saw and heard the howler monkeys. A white faced monkey.
Black throated tiger heron. Black crown night heron. Yellow crown night heron.
We reached the border with Nicaragua and we stopped for photos:
Miki and Jonas:
Will end with the national bird of Costa Rica: A clay color Robin.
A colorful bird we often saw flying around.
