Wildlife Garden

What would your wildlife garden be in.....

What would a backyard wildlife garden be in Costa RIca? I visited two: La Tirimbina where several researchers live and Curu which is where a ranching family lives. Both allow tourists to stay there to help support the site, and both have gardens connect to larger park-like systems they have created. Here are some of the things I saw there

Really cool wildlife garden!

I love the bright colored frog and the monkeys. What a wonderful experience you must have had. Did you see the tiny hummers they have there?

The most hummingbirds I saw in the wild was at a place called Cerro Dantas. There was one that was really big for a hummingbird and green that kept trying to attack the others, I forgot its name though.
