Two-toed Sloth: Playa Blanco, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica, December 2022 \u2014 While we were watching the Macaws, folks at the house at the end of the long drive shaded by the Beach Almond trees were watching us. We were on their property, and it did cross my mind when a young lady and gentleman came walking up toward us that we about to the \u201ctold off\u201d, but, of course, being Costa Rica, they actually wanted to invite us down to the house where they had a sloth low in the tree that shaded their picnic table. Did we want to come take photos? Well, yes, thank you! Really low as it turns out\u2026just at eye level for the taller among us. The young couple enjoyed watching us ooh and awe and snap. It was the home of the young lady\u2019s uncle, and yes, she had grown up right there in Playa Blanca. The young man was less talkative, but all smiles. You don\u2019t often see a sloth so close, and in such good company. Sony Rx10iv at 300mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications with multi-frame noise reduction.
