It was a wonderful morning with a lovely family – Kurt, Tally, TJ, Tanner, Tom, Laurie and I in the mangroves. We started by creeping up the river, pausing frequently to look at the snakes and birds along the shoreline and flying above us.

We stopped and anchored in an incredibly peaceful part of the river where we could absorb the sights and sounds more fully while eating breakfast and sipping on our coffee.

Throughout the trip we had an amazing time taking pictures, the best of which were

the grey breasted martin,

northern tree boa,

and the green heron.



Guests always comment that they feel they are entering a different world as they glide through the black and red mangroves found in Rio Esquinas observing these species.
