Our Wildlife in Nicaragua
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 and this year we have a
new baby! 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
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 and our
outdoor sink!
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 on
morning!
