Sloths really walk across the ground? Yes and they look super otherworldly, like this one of tres dedos (three toes) does. Sometimes ya just gotta hit the floor and find the tasty tree of choice that isn’t within reach of the connecting branches. This is a big risk for this defenseless creature who somehow has survived since prehistoric times. On the mainland, they’ve got a host of serious predators: wild cats and eagles especially, but here on Isla Bastimentos they only have to worry about humans and dogs, so this smooth rider has not a care in the world. P.S. if you find a critter like this on the ground—unless it’s in the middle of or is heading to a road—just leave it be. #slothlove #sloth #islabastimentos #caribbeangirls #caribbeanlife #caribbeanculture #bocasdeltoro #bocasdeltoropanama #ecotourism #slothsofinstagram #slothtattoo #slothmeme #slothlover #perezoso #perezosos #osoperezoso #wildlifepanama #holaamigo #tranquilobay #wildlifepanama #trailside #bocasdeltorowildlife #slothlife #slothy #panamazing #wildpanama #tropicalwildlifeAmerican Pygmy Kingfisher. #wildlifepanama #birdsofpanama #panamabirds #panamawild #bocasdeltoro #wildpanama #kingfishers #kingfisher #fishingAutomeris sp. This gorgeous critter was spotted by Scott and his little brother Patrick who grew up here at Tranquilo Bay. They’re constantly exploring and making new discoveries.

Southward on tireless wings..
So while I’m headed southward, I don’t have the advantage of tireless wings. Or any wings for that matter. Rather I’m talking about the tiny songbirds flying ever-southward, primarily under cover of darkness to evade daytime predators like hawks and falcons. … Continue reading

Pining for the Field: Bay of Fundy
My first bird job out of college (after having two seasons of Project Puffin under my belt), I traveled north to New Brunswick, Canada to do warbler studies in and around Bay of Fundy National Park. It was the summer … Continue reading

Pining for the Field: Puerto Rico
So while I’m back to reality, much removed from the hidden world of birds, I’ll take a look back at other field jobs I’ve taken part in over the years. We’ll harken back to 2006 when I travelled to Cabo … Continue reading
