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!!!!!

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.

(122 views) Everyone's favorite rodent, the Capybara! I have wanted to see one in the wild since I was 10 years old and first read about them in a library book.
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.

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

The swan may look graceful and elegant, but his raised wings actually tell onlookers that this is his territory and don't even think about coming any closer.

Here is another shot of a Collared Aracari which I thought was merely another Toucan until I later researched it.
