Rancho Cecilia was built with as minimal
disruption to the environment as possible.
Therefore we have the pleasure of enjoying our
closest neighbors, the woodland creatures that
still call Rancho Cecilia home! All our photos on
our web site have been taken right here! Here
are some of our neighbors that you may meet
while visiting us!
The Howler Monkeys!
We have a small family of howler monkeys, a
young male and two females, last year they
had their first baby and this year they just had
another one!
They travel along the trees and down by the
creek. You can hear them most often, in the
early morning talking with another troop of
monkeys that live behind our property!
Birds! Any birders out there that want to
visit and help us identify our birds? We
have many different type of tropical
birds that live with us!
Any herpetologists out there?
This creek turtle is some type of
snapper! Liz found that out the
hard way, while trying to get his
best side for the photo!
Frogs and Toads,
we have many different types
here at Rancho Cecilia. They
like to hang around the dogs'
water bowls in the dry season!
This Tortuga was lost one morning at
Playa Maderas. She came ashore a
bit too far north, as they usually lay
eggs at La Flor turtle preserve.
Entomologists, we have alot of cool insects too!
This preying mantis was laying her eggs right on
the patio table at the Casita! And this grasshopper
was on our surfboard bag one morning!
