Costa Rica - Part 3

The Osa Taliban maybe?  No, it's just Nick and Barbara as we arrived at a local stable for a horseback ride.


Part of the ride was along a deserted beach.



We stopped to explore some tidepools full of urchins.



There were a couple of people cleaning up the beach, using a cart pulled by a water buffalo.



After getting back to the lodge we saw a few other things.

A Red-lored Parrot


A Scarlet-rumped Tanager


A Red-legged Honeycreeper


Several Scarlet Macaws






Palm fruits


Pineapple plant


A Black Vulture


A tree with impressive defenses


A Black Hawk


And a Crested Caracara
