15:15 Alone again this morning I was
actually thinking I was pretty bored, but then after today I wondered if in
fact it is just a normal day and it just so happens that for me most days have
been new and interesting or with odd things happening.
Another moth this morning:

The day really started off with a Social Flycatcher
pestering a Ctenosaur (kind of normal), then a Black Vulture decided to stand
right on top of all my Spanish books… what!

I changed my attention towards catching
butterflies with a net and photographing them as records - got two or three
different ones, and one was very friendly crawling over me for about 20
minutes.

Then after a late lunch, with
some more coconut ice-cream, a Basilisk (Jesus Christ Lizard) ran across the
yard to the El Comedor lodge. I have a
video which turned out pretty good considering how fast they are… Video 138.

I decided to check out the stream, I
thought maybe this lizard was trying to tell me something about his normal home
area… but all I saw was a female with some babies perhaps just wondering where
the male had ran off to.
I went to the lab where I saw some
Harlequin Crabs and some 'green butterflies' mating. Lastly, I saw a Pelican
randomly floating in the surf, though I didn’t get a photo. Alas, a
"boring" day actually turned out to be fairly interesting.

Before bed I worked on some Spanish, as
well as chased a second "Ocelot Racoon" along the beach thinking it
might have been a Coyote because the way it moved looked different to what I
was used to with Racoons and being night it could have easily been one with its
big eyes looking at me from afar.
