Vomi St. Fina geminey, Guanacaste, Costa Rica
August 1/2 I wouldn't find him. Great disappointment. From
a +/- 60 foot dead butt # shot # 128
Her mate which was close to her
when I shot her came flying at me & squacked
loudly. I did the obvious - shot him w/ a 22
because he was so near. About 100 from the
river is a junk field tree # shot # 130
I was feeding & very flighty. I
walked to the river & noticed that just every
thing was. Looked up in the trees & for about
about 8-10 monkeys. (Lesson: don't stand
under a tree full of monkeys.) So I started to
put my hand on what looked like (from
the palms of my eyes) a large tree trunk it
moved!! A huge huge Squana. Very
startled. Then to my utter amazement
I saw about a dozen leguins scamper
across the river ON the water. They
actually ran on the top of the water. The
# 131 and
# 132 and
#133
were all shot within 100 feet of the river.
# 131 & # 133 were flying about like mad
around tree trunks. (The two
# 132 & # 134 were both shot on the road to the
cabin. Both were doing their acrobatic
jumps displays.) # 135
