I earlier posted a photo of a different woodpecker, the Pale-billed Woodpecker found behind my cabin at Selva Verde Lodge which is even more impressive! I was much closer!

| Anhinga Along the Puerto Viejo River Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí, Costa Rica This is the typical pose of a male drying his wings, but the male neck is usually black, so this may be a female, though her neck is usually lighter than this. See other photo. |

PERSONAL UPDATE: I’ve had what I thought was a bad cold for the last week+ or maybe allergies or sinusitis. Well it is probably volcanic ash that continues to fall over the central valley from Turrialba Volcano which won’t quit belching smoke/ash.
