When Bob and I visited Monteverde, we hiked in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve multiple times. One day, we found ourselves alone on a trail in the jungle.

The pair was perched less than 20 feet to the side of the trail. Read more

A Cooper’s Hawk takes on a Big Brown Bat

On what seemed a very ordinary winter day, Bob and I took a leisurely walk over to one of our local parks to escape the routine of familiar household chores.

Seconds later, the hawk launched into the air and nabbed a Big Brown Bat that was flying by. Read more
