Thanks Ellen! Canceled everything, head home Tues. I'll post once I'm there and assess the damage My time here has been magical. I've loved the experience. Trying not to think about the house (i've seen pics)= disaster. Haven't posted as I lied about returning to get the ass out of the house.

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

Happy New Year Ellen! I can't lie, being in Costa Rica + caring for baby sloths is awesome. At home, repairs to the house have stopped for now. My poor handyman had a run in with a stallion and took a kick to the face. Fortunately, he's alive & recovering albeit with plates, screws and a wired jaw.

Interesting as he didn't fall into the car, onto the ground and didn't seek medical treatment afterward, instead walking down the street and yelling at the dead woman before fleeing the scene, right?

Americans across the board have definitely had enough, the legislators pocketing NRA money then sending thoughts & prayers (rather than seeking solutions) are insatiable at the cost of precious lives. I'm so sorry for your loss, and for all the families who've lost loved ones in these shootings.

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.

This lizard can run on water through a combination of speed, a light body, specially adapted feet. Its long toes have fringes that expand creating a large surface area, so when the lizard runs, and slaps the water forcefully with its hind legs, it creates air pockets that prevent it from sinking.

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.

CINNAMON Cinnamomum verum New growth on a cinnamon tree Sloths, who like koalas, will only eat very few species of leaves, will eat cinnamon. The bark is the part we use as a seasoning, but the leaves also smell delicious. #cinnamon #plants #slothfood #costarica #pretty

I was 50 when the Affordable Care Act was passed, prior I had a pre-existing condition going back to age 9, that no insurance would cover. Catastrophic insurance was ~$1.5K/mo. I also lived in NYC when AIDS was decimating the City. Health Insurance premiums were doubling every few months.

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

I wish. One 22 year old, runs to HR all of the time complaining that I'm taking a 'tone' with her. Funny, I made it through nearly 50 years without HR being involved in my life, from new employee to management level, so this is interesting. There are other options around if I need to switch.

Not here, we can even walk to a small shop. The property is on an unpaved road but 'civilized', it was cattle pasture, the shed is still at right. This is the view from where I sit most days before anyone is up. Capuchins regularly cross from the left, across the gate, through the trees on the right

A LOT of adjusting. I'm sharing a room with a 20 year old man, there's plenty of high school drama I try to avoid, lots of rules to follow, things I can't do and some resentment I can't do them. One has to have inner fortitude + solid sense of self worth, Lol. But the proximity to animals is amazing

It's been great! Today an ocelot came in, gorgeous animal. A howler monkey left - recovered enough to return to her life. We have several animals leaving this week, which is great for them. They try to release animals near where they were found if possible. Lots of wildlife around too, which I love!

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.

We'll see how long I'll be gone. The first 6 mos are a lock. I'll be in Costa Rica working at a wildlife rescue. Then head to Panama and hang out in Bocas del Toro for a bit? then Boquete up in the mountains? Then it probably depends on how things are going here, and if I can get my house rented...
