Isla Damas Mangroves

Went on a tour of the mangroves today. It was a perfect morning to be on the boat. We saw many different kinds of birds: blue herons, great blue herons, kingfishers, egrets, osprey, sandpipers and many others that we can not remember the names of. A large boa constrictor, yellow in color, was in one of the trees(picture included). Can you see it? The amazing part was the white-faced capuchin monkeys. There were a number of them in the mangrove trees. Not only did one monkey like our camera, but he also sat on Bill’s head! It was so cute!

We saw many baselisks, which are called, “Jesus Christ lizards”, because they can walk on water. Actually, they can run sixty feet on the surface of water without sinking.
