2025-04 Tortuguero National Park - Costa Rica

This was my second trip to Costa Rica and my first to Tortuguero. Wendy came along for the ride, and if I'm interpreting her impressions correctly, she's over it. Not because it wasn't beautiful, but the photography was mostly of birds and reptiles and she'd prefer Lions or Polar Bears. And it was hot as balls. And 70% plus humidity every damn day. Most shots were taken from a boat. Casey Mannes was the BCJ guide on this, my 15th trip with BCJ. Next is Tanzania in 2026. I'm looking forward to it.

Oh, and American Airlines stranded us for a couple of days due to a mechanical issue with our plane. Bummer, but we got home safe and sound. I'm glad I didn't have anything pressing on my schedule.

He's not really wildlife but he caught my eye in this colorful scene.
