More on life in the Tropigs

We always wonder how this guy keeps gettin in the bathroom. (We still don't know, but it must be through the door....since I stuck him in the sink to take a photo.) Yesterday one--seemingly the same one--of these giant cochroaches (called a Wood Roach) was on the window frame near the shower stall. I trapped him in a glass and carried him clear across the property to release him in the wild near the river.
Today he (?) was back again! I'm going to have to use a colored marker to see if it's the same one... Anyway, they are kinda big, but we don't worry about such stuff. They live here too.One time Julie reached over in the semi-dark to pick up what seemed like a mango pit on the floor. Nope, a wood roach!

Then too, we have many agreeable creatures here! The bird below was scanned in from Alan Pringle's collection of snapshots. I swear it's the same kind of bird I just saw in our avocado tree (but my photo wasn't clear at all.) If anybody knows what it is, please let me know. It doesn't appear in our CR birdbook. (Note: Tony Schmitz identified it as a Cotinga)

hey Mc Jere,
The bird is a cotinga. Everything here is fine. Love checking in on your blog once in a while. Bye, McToners

What a fantastic treat! Thanks for the work. I must confess, those are probably 8th generation palmetto's that escaped from our "stuff" you were so kind (and niave)in letting us store during transition. Why can't the bird be dubbed the "Baha'i Mt. peace dove"? Luv, Joyce NC,US
