Here's a pic from along the Hanging Bridges trail. This palm had fallen over and was cut to clear the pathway.

Another Iriartea shot with people on a bridge for scale. The fronds on these palms are massive!

And a bird flying in front of the Arenal Volcano

Sorry for the dirty lens. I kept cleaning it everyday and can't figure out where the smudge marks are coming from.

The volcano.

And a lovely name for a tunnel...

Let me guess. You walk in the tunnel.. startle a Pitviper, he jumps.. you jump, he jumps more - hence, Jumping Pitviper Tunnel! :lol:

Angela,

Do you have vultures in Hawaii? I see that Costa Rica has a good number of them, if the above pictures are any indication. Around my parts they sort of keep road kill under control. I like their name here, Urubu. They are sort of an ever present part of the landscape around here. One of great things about vultures is that you can tell when it is going to rain for sure. They head for a tree and perch until the rain passes.

No vultures here... only the endangered Hawai'i Hawk. I have a few mediocre shots of it in my birdie thread.
