Well we finally did have some chicks hatch. We had two hens that decided to sit and between the two of them we ended up with four chicks. Not very many, but we have had had some problems to overcome in our chicken rearing and we are very pleased that the Lord saw fit to give us four healthy chicks. That was a couple of months ago and the chicks have already grown quite large.
The children are always finding interesting insects. This is a picture of a huge praying mantis.
This is a big cicada. These things can produce a deafening sound!
One day when we were swimming in the river, Andres saw a black snake in a tree over the water. Dane got the snake and he and Javier killed it. This picture shows the children posing with it. 
Well it is hard to see in the picture, but there is a toucan in the tree. We have enjoyed seeing many on our property lately. They are really large birds and make a funny croaky sound.
This isn't a critter, but in the forest there are some huge cactus. They grow as tall or taller than some of the trees. Their trunks look just like the trunks of the other trees (woody or with bark). I found these when I was chasing the toucans into the forest for a picture.
