Night Walk

Tonight I went on a night walk at the Ecological Reserve.  I have to admit I am a little disappointed - I don't feel like we saw all that many animals and most disappointing of all, I didn't see a sloth.  I did, however, see some other animals (including a couple of porcupines that were too far away and too darkly colored to photograph).
An agouti.  These rodents are active during the day, so we
caught them shortly before they went to sleep.
Orange banded tarantula.  I didn't actually realize that there was
more than one kind of tarantula, but there are dozens. 
Frog.  Not sure what kind.  I think someone asked, but I don't
remember what the guide said.
Cool-looking bird.  Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of it.
Trust me when I say this bird is more beautiful in real life.
