wings

Over the past week, we have been fortunate enough to enjoy Costa Rica's wildlife LIVE in the convenience of our own room. It started out with a huge moth (about the size of my hand) clinging to one of our walls. We were able to coax him out using a flashlight and a basket.

Then a couple mornings later we were enjoying our breakfast out on the porch, and a bird flew into our room. We always leave our door open during the day to light up the room. Mitch safely got the bird out using a broom, but we thought the bird was going to croak before he was able to find his way out. He actually passed out a few times before he flew out the door.

Then a couple evenings later, I walked into our room and a bat followed me in and started flying all around my head! Yeek! He was easier to persuade to leave after turning out our light...he just followed his ears to the next bright light with a bug party happening around it.
