Other (non-bird) wildlife
As with the birds, we also saw most of other wildlife at Bosque de Paz. Because the hotel staff feed the Black Guans, the food also attracted Agoutis -- they are totally unwary of people. (Click on each image to see the high-resolution version)

At night, the nocturnal "Agouti Pacas", or Lowland Pacas, or Spotted Pacas, also came to feed. This was the first time I saw these secretive animals.

The most exciting sighting was a group of Howler Monkeys that we found in the forest. Although we had seen Howler Monkeys before, this was the first time we found them without a guide; in any case, spotting primates (other than humans!) in the wild is always exciting.

Another interesting sighting at the lodge was this delicate butterfly.

On my (abandoned) hike to the waterfall, a Coati, or Coatimundi, crossed the trail right in front of me. It acted rather obliviously, and I thought that it must have had bad eyesight and did not see me, and that I was downwind and it did not detect my scent.

At the Lankester Garden, because there were many flowers, inevitably they attracted nectar-loving insects, such as these butterflies.

Another colorful creature is a spider, perhaps a Orchard Orbweaver, Leucauge venusta.

The last exciting sighting of a mammal was a Poas Squirrel on the trail around the crater, an endemic species. Because of the dim light on the trail, a flash was used in this picture -- no, it does not have evil eyes.
