So this is a White Throated Magpie... and he is not shy - and neither are his buddies...
Along with this beautiful bird, we have been visited by many coati mundi's -- they resemble raccoons and are as shy as the magpie. While Dave was grilling chicken last night on the patio, he was attacked - well, bombarded might be a better word to use - by 5 or 6 of this little fellows. They are hungry! They were at the back door again tonight around dinner time, looking for some hand-outs!
Our first night here, I think I heard some of these coatis fighting - sounded just like a cat fight...
We can also hear a male howler monkey - he has a very threatening and deep growl that he lets out whenever he feels threatened - or maybe just annoyed - by anyone or anything - including the maintenance guys and their vehicles.
Today, we did some snorkeling and saw many other "locals" -- lots of cool angel fish and puffer fish... many hermit crabs on the beach.... good times.
