Made it back from Los Haitises last night. Amazing place! Its really hilly and rainy there. Each hike we went on we got rained on multiple times, usually dumped on. Neat area. Here are some highlights.
Some kind of big skink I caught after breakfast under my bench:
This is the Risdgeway Hawk. This guy is super rare, only occurs in this park and only ~200 individuals in the world. Got up early the last day to see her. This pic is through the scope.
This is the hotel area, very cool. It is built into the side of this mountain.
This is the front of the main area with the waterfalls and the main gathering/eating area.
Another view of the waterfall. The water was cool and refreshing and a good way to clean up after a muddy hike.
This is the local pet crow. Its an indigenous white-necked crow. Cool bird and very curious.
Pretty little anole:
Big old toad. There were dozens of them around. Marine toad?
Tiny little frog on the stem of a very big leaf:
Lots of smaller frogs were about calling up a storm. Its always nice to fall asleep to sounds of frog calling.
Made it back from the Los Haitises national park last night. Amazing place!
