A crocodile in the mangroves
Gary Martinek
Just for the record, this crocodile was not seen anywhere near Casa Carolina. You'll have to go on a snorkel trip to the mangroves, or fly fishing, if you want to try to see a crocodile!

Thanks to Cheryl Hogue for helping us identify some of these birds.

We have many more species of birds at Casa Carolina. What we don't have are many more good bird photographers. Please come and take good pictures of some of the other birds, so we can post them here!

And thanks to all the other photographers who helped make this page so amazing. If you recognize your picture and we haven't properly credited you, please let us know so that we may do so!
