I just got back from an incredible trip where I stayed at this perfect house that&#39;s right in the middle of the rainforest and I wanted to tell other birders about it. You don&#39;t even have to leave the house to see a ton of interesting varieties of tropical birds...here&#39;s the link to the house I stayed at:<br /><br />http://www.flipkey.com/manuel-antonio-villa-rentals/p247531/<br /><br />Definitely go if you can!

I saw the male American Kestrel yesterday afternoon -- now I know it was a special sighting bringing me a greeting from you and Tommy! (kestrels are not common here in the winter).<br />Good luck in your new job and I&#39;m looking forward to getting back to blogging more too. Thanks for sharing Tommy&#39;s pictures!<br />Hugs!RuthieJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938441684411230999.post-19953081351983460642011-01-02T08:04:25.483-05:002011-01-02T08:04:25.483-05:00Thank you guys!<br />2011 will be much better for me, for birding and blogging.<br />Besos!Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04550692601943778577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938441684411230999.post-36359554208460180912011-01-02T07:58:39.267-05:002011-01-02T07:58:39.267-05:00THANK YOU ALL!!Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04550692601943778577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938441684411230999.post-80729280993174317382011-01-02T07:58:13.266-05:002011-01-02T07:58:13.266-05:00Hi John!<br />Thank you!
