There is lots of wildlife around the lagoon and we are constantly entertained by it

Tons of birds (hope to get a few fotos), Caiman (crocs), squirrels, fireflies (truly amazing), mosquitoes, ants and flies are coming into season


Green Iguana just peeking over


Roosting. There are more of the larger grey ones here


The tree above is a Poinciana - Tabachin or Framboyan in Spanish. It's in the Tamarind family


Lots of large birds - Egret, Herron

This bridge of reeds, swamp grass, small palms and every other plant that could take hold used to be firmly planted about 500 yards off in the distance. We had our first hint of a tropical wind storm with some rain today (06-22-05) and now we have about an acre more property. Tomorrow morning with more wind and rain I don't know. We're considering throwing out grappling hooks.
