I haven't posted recently as I'm heartbroken, I found out a few days ago a week ago, that the handyman, working to get my house rented, while I'm in Central America, has instead robbed me + trashed the house. So, I have to stop what I'm doing here, and return asap to deal with my wrecked house. :(

Red-crested Turaco San Diego, California 2025 Unique among birds for possessing true pigments in their feathers, rather than relying on light refraction. Their unique copper-based compounds: red turacin and green turacoverdin, are found in no other animals on Earth. #birds #photography #turaco

Panama is idyllic. Yesterday, while hanging out in a hammock reading, I glanced up and could see a howler monkey, a three-toed sloth and a keel-billed toucan (pictured) in the trees around me. Life doesn't get much better than that. #panama #toucan #life

Visitors at the release site yesterday. Remember Joan Embry (Johnny Carson or Leno) She's an animal advocate and avid horse woman. She's on the board of directors here. Today I was supposed to move to our HQ location, but the marketing team was called by Wild Kingdom for some filming, so tomorrow AM

Frodo Baby Golden Mantled Howler Monkey Frodo arrived at the release site a few days before I did and was so tiny. His likelihood of surviving was equally small but he was a dear little guy. Rescue/rehab is a tough business, being nurturing enough but not so much that the animal can't be released.

Collared Peccary Today my pig buddy is leaving for HQ. Tomorrow she goes to a sanctuary. A hunter spared her so she ended up here, but we rehab them and release animals and she's tame. I've made her pen a mini jungle, bringing daily bowls of vines, grasses, seeds, nuts. We bonded. I'll miss her.

December Move Mid-December I head to HQ. While in CA, I agreed to split my time between the release site and HQ where I'll work with baby animals. Initially, disappointed, but HQ's location allows more freedom to travel around. I will miss the abundant wildlife here. I will not miss the mosquitos

Escapees Yesterday, the unexpected arrival of inspectors at 8am augmented a crazy morning. We'd already discovered a mouse cage breach, that our deep freeze thawed and the contents rotted, that municipal water was turned off following days of heavy rainfall, and we were knee-deep in animal dishes.

Great Green Macaw eating fruit Sarapiqui, Costa Rica One of the local macaws like this fruit. I'm not sure what it is? Not fleshy like an orange, the outside is hard, they eat the interior and leave the outer skin/shell/husk? #birds #photography #macaw #greatgreenmacaw #costarica #fruit #wildlife

The Jungle Heredia, Sarapiqui, Costa Rica It's cattle land, lots of cleared pasture. This piece is partially cleared, partially overgrown. There's enough infrastructure to get around, enough wild to get lost in, which is nice. It's home, if I'm lucky, until March. #photography #costarica #jungle

I'm back on this account again, finally! Hopefully this will not knock me off the photo account. Sheesh! I'm in Costa Rica until mid-March interning at a wildlife rescue/rehab/release place. I'm at the release site, it's kind of like high school, but I'm 3Xs older, and already sick of the games.

I got the internship in Costa Rica! YIPPEE! I'll leave a month earlier than originally planned, and will be responsible for photography + care of babies, howlers + more - interesting as my sisters didn't trust me with their kids (though they could have). I deal with baby animals of all kinds often.

Had a zoom call at 10:30am. It JUST ended at 3:45pm - 5 hours + 15 minutes later. FIVE HOURS!! We didn't even finish reviewing the report (which is 325 pages) but we did make headway. It's exhausting. Now the author goes back and rewrites some of the chapters, again. I need to move around chapters.

Jadot Chillin' on Caturday Los Angeles Yes, his ear is clipped. When he was a kitten, Animal Control was darkening our streets, scooping up any outside cat that didn't have a clipped ear (indicating spay/neuter). With chickens, I need mousers. He was. He's a lap cat now, which is fine with me. ♥️
