It's interesting what we remember of life. When I was a little kid, we lived for a while in Jamaica, and in Kenya... two quite different places from the Pacific Northwest. All these years later, some of the birds are what I remember best of those places... I recognize them in photos, and they trigger childhood memories.
Must have been very cool to experience a set of birds so undoubtedly different, when visiting Costa Rica!
For sure. Thanks for the story.
