What a little piece of artwork. Hardly bigger than my thumb (which happens to be quite small) this poison-dart frog perched on a colorful bromeliad as if it knew just how beautifully contrasting such a spot would make. These frogs come in a rainbow of colors that I love to share with guests along my…
Check out “Bird’s Art” tab on my BocasBiodiversity.com website to get an idea how I kept myself artistic during COVID. There is some way or another that I’d like to sell prints (with framing if possible) that anyone knows of, pray tell! Click below and check them out and tell me what you think! Click…
I just wanted to put it out there that I am just really thankful for all I’ve experienced lately. I’m particularly thankful I’ve had guiding gigs since I started out as an independent ecoguide (for hire!!). I’ve gained a good handful of ecotours obtained through word of mouth or internet.

Oh, what a wonderful day spent with Henry & Alanys at their gorgeous property called Finca Mena, on mainland Bocas del Toro.

An essential part of Bocas Biodiversity to me is the future of guiding in the stunning archipelago of Bocas del Toro. My dream is that I can help young Bocatoreños become “EcoGuides” as they are the people of this land and know it better than any gringo. Read my post about what my plans are…
What a heck of a fish, right!?! This impressive bundle of venomous spines and its intricate and beautifully designed entirety is the Indo-Pacific Lionfish and as peaceful as this beauty may seem, she’s a beast that’s hunting out our local, native fish species. The lionfish is an exotic species to the Caribbean, meaning it doesn’t…
A few days before last Saturday, I contacted bird guide friend Lukas asking if he’d bird the October Big Day with me around Isla Colón where we live. I knew my beloved Tranquilo Bay Eco-Adventure Lodge and bird guide legends Natalia & Ramon were covering the far end of the Archipelago so, all together, we’d…
