On February 5th we headed to Parque Nacional Rincon de la Vieja Las Pailas ranger station.  It is about a two hour drive from Flamingo Beach.  The jungle hike was gorgeous with wonderful vegatation, streams, falls, and a swinging bridge made of rebar, wire and fence material.  We saw a beautiful Toucan that did not hang around long enough for either Benjamin or I to catch in one of our lenses, turkeys, butterflies, an amazing dragon fly whose motion resembles a helicopter when it flies and the extremely cute and curious white faced monkeys.  These guys were incredibly entertaining and seemed to grow in number the longer we were clicking and flashing.  While always difficult to shoot straight up into the jungle canopy, included here are a few of the shots I managed.  Benjamin managed more and, of course, better ones but I’ll keep trying to learn his tricks.
