Port Crescent’s prosperity and future, like so many others on the Olympic Peninsula, was depended on the placement of the tidal exodus of the railroad terminus rumored to built on the peninsula.
Every morning we’d hear a Roufous-naped Wren outside our villa. He liked to sit on the power line and sing his heart out, I’m assuming he was hopeful for a mate, but maybe he just enjoyed hearing himself.
The first time we saw one of these incredibly bright butterflies both Theresa and I thought it must be a tropical bird.
How quickly we replaced the warm humid climate of Costa Rica’s tropical rain forest with the cold humid climate of the Olympic Peninsula’s temperate rain forest.
Jaco Beach is known for its nightlight but the area is full of wildlife as well. This Spotted Sandpiper was just one of the many birds we spotted while relaxing on the shoreline.
Very common in Costa Rica but can be hard to pin down; they are fast and elusive when they need to be.
Intelligent, fast and sneaky, you don’t want to turn your back on the White-faced Capuchin. At least you don't if you have lunch around.
The only thing keeping my eyes open as we descend below the cloud deck was the site of San Jose nestled in a deep green valley.
They often build "tents" by cutting the structural veins of leaves by chewing parallel to the midrib.
I spotted this unusual bird in the most unlikely spot; just outside our hotel room door while on the way for coffee.
