Just a quick message to say that are second trip was better than our first. Our high expectations were exceeded by this amazing place.

We were also lucky enough to meet two Fodorites, Kinkazote and TucanCosta. It was great meeting and talking with both of you. I am processing pictures and updating my website with trip reports. I hope to have this done in a week or so and will post a link.

Here is quick sighting list. All of these animals were seen from the deck of our cabina...pretty amazing:

Spider Monkey, White-faced Capuchin Monkey, Scarlet Macaws, White-nosed Coati, Agouti, Chestnut Mandibled Toucan, Brown Pelican, Dolphins, Scissor-tailed kite, White Hawk, Black Hawk, Osprey, Black Vulture, Turkey Vulture, various Anoles, various geckos, Hummingbirds, Tanagers and more.

Fabulous! Three weeks from today I leave for BdC. Can't wait.

Can't wait for the report and pictures. Make it lengthy and add lots of pics. We'll be there in 3 months! Looking forward to the rest.

It sounds like you had great animal sightings. I can't wait to read all the details. BdC is a wonderful spot!

Ahh, BdC! Love that place!

Sounds like a wonderful trip, atdahl.

Glad you had a great trip. The white hawk is one of my favorite's.

Sigh. . . .

good for you! Can't wait to see the pics!

OK. Some pictures are now on line:

I am working on a trip report and should have that up in a week.

oh my gosh--awesome photos!!!

Can I just say WOW! I think these must be the best photos I've ever seen posted here. Are you a professional photographer? What type of camera did you use?

Thanks for the compliments.

Hipvirgochick, while I have sold a picture or two, I am just an amateurtaurusdude, not a pro. I won't be quitting my day job anytime soon.

To get these pictures I took about 20 pounds of camera gear and lugged a tripod around from dusk to dawn. BDC is amazing and it is hard to take a bad photo. Although, being out and about from 6AM to 10PM most days helped. Glad you enjoyed the photos.

Well, your efforts of lugging the gear around certainly paid off. I'm not quite that dedicated LOL! Your pics are definteley coffee table book material. I looked at the others on your site as well...all beautiful!

Alan, have you ever thought about doing a coffee table book? Your pictures are truly gorgeous. Roy should be worried!

Beautiful photos, love the one of the rock viewable from Congo and the pelicans.

Hi Your pictures are amazing - I am assuming you shot manually - what camera and lens did you use?

Thanks, Debbie

atdahl,
Your pics are truly incredible... You were also just in Belize at Chan chich?? Those pics were great too! If I only had the ambition to carry a tripod all the time...sigh.
Thanks for the remark on my pics earlier too even though there is little to compare....lol
Absolutely FABULOUS work!!

The pictures are absolutely fantastic. What an incredible eye you have. Thanks for posting. I also enjoyed your other galleries as well.

Thanks for the pictures. You had some fantastic subjects and you possess incredible skill behind the camera. Your 20 lbs of gear were worth it!

Why was this trip better than last? Where you went? Time of year? Or just pure luck?

How long were you in Bosque Del Cabo?

When you state you were out all day 6 am to 10 pm most days, was that alone or with a guide? Or a combo? Were you spotting with lights at night?

Thanks for the answers and if you want to just stick in a link to your website that will answer these, that's fine.

Wow, your photography work is really beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us! BdC is really incredible, isn't it?

Wow - your pictures are amazing! I love the ones of the monkeys swinging and jumping. You are very talented. Look forward to reading your trip report.
