had darkened the inside, and knocked two of the metal pieces off the
outside.

Here are two Blue-and-yellow Macaws (Ara ararauna) and a scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) perched on top of their outdoor aviary on the hotel grounds. They were free to come and go as they pleased and a couple of them were high overhead in the trees.

I just wanted you to know that I chose this most wonderful photo
as the background of my work desk top: I looked at a lot of
your photos in the past half hour.. it was not an easy choice!!
This one worked best because I can see my short cuts on the
dark back ground on the bottom-. Thank YOU!!!!!

By contrast, in Costa Rica we saw a few sloths but each one looked like a large ball of moss.

He seemed alert and happy and was savagely attacking his lawn.

The first day of the river cruise and we were just south of Iquitos on the Amazon. Someone spotted dolphins ahead of us and we had a great time watching them leap in and out of the brown water. I was extremely lucky to catch this one in mid-air.
We were told they were River Dolphins but after research it seems more likely it was a Tucuxi (pronounced too-koo-shi).

I saw a large family group of about 5 adults and many young ones. Looking like guinea pigs on steroids they still managed to be adorable.

Throughout the trip, the brown boobies were too distant to be photographed, even from a boat. I felt lucky to photograph this one while the boat sped past it in the rain.

I had never seen a woodpecker in colors other than black and white and red. So it was quite a surprise to see this gorgeous "blonde"!

If only our north american cities were populated with flocks of these beautiful Nicobar pigeons. I wouldn't object to them at all.
