Great egret

I have posted a fair number of iguanas and crocodiles lately, so I should show some birds. Here are two in the same photo. A great egret is in the foreground, but I cannot make out the species that is in the background.

Costa Rica has more species of birds than all of the USA and Canada combined, so it is not surprising that it is possible to get two different species of the heron family in the same photo.

An article in the local newspaper just reported that biologists have recently discovered 5 additional bird species in Costa Rica not previously cataloged as present here.
This week we are showing photos of Santa Fe, New Mexico on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site. We think you will enjoy them.

Julie's horse is gorgeous, but so is this egret. Nature solves the matter of packaging life in such exquisite ways.
