Today began with a spectacular early-morning flight over the mountains of Costa Rica's interior, and we landed on the Osa Peninsula, only minutes from Crocodile Bay Resort. The wildflowers and wildlife are astounding. Brilliant-colored birds you only expect to see in zoos all around the resort, everything in bloom, the sound of howler monkeys in the trees, iguanas casually sunning themselves, humpback whales rolling beside our fishing boat, jumping manta rays...We didn't connect with the roosterfish today (although I'm pretty sure one fish I missed was one), but we did catch some bright-colored snappers that I'd never seen before and that they tell me will be highlights when we sit down for dinner after awhile. Tomorrow, we'll target billfish, and we'll have all day to fish. Off to take pictures of some birds now!
