Wildlife at Casa Oceano!
|
Casa Oceano is within the Private Reserve of Tango Mar. The resort and homeowners have taken care in minimizing the impact of building structures so that the monkey trails are not borken, and wildlife is unmolested so that it will remain. Below are photos taken from Casa Oceano, many of them from the balconies and decks, as the birds and monkeys are as enchanted by us as we are by them! (Most photos taken by guests.)

 A guest reported this parrot was often "hanging around the house."

 These colorful land crabs are normally not seen,
|
 except in the springtime, after the first rain,
|
 when they march in a phalanx to the sandy beach to lay their eggs.
