Some Local Wild Life

One of the many local crocodiles (Cocodrilo in  Spanish).

Sometimes not so easy to spot (right of centre):

Sometimes very easy to spot:

Good thing that cats have nine lives. Not sure how many Totopos, the restaurant cat, has left. Check out what she is watching so carefully in the background:

And much less intimidating, various iguanas.

Though sometime the iguanas can be quite stupid.  The waiter occasionally leaves bits of salad on this stump for the iguanas. This little one apparently hasn't noticed mister crocodile checking out a possible snack!

And birds; a juvenile heron

and the adult form:

And relatively rare here (the first I have ever seen), a Blue Footed Booby. Which according to witnesses, washed up on the beach after rolling in on the surf. Exhausted it waddled up to the strip of vegetation between the beach and a house where it stayed recovering for almost 24 hours. Thankfully local dogs and tourists left it alone.

This photo was taken just before dusk. The bird was still there next morning but was gone by later in the day.


And not so rare, a Black Capped Blue Eyed Turista:
