RAIN FOREST RENDEZVOUS

This is Costa Rica, where North and South America meet, so there are birds which migrate from both continents. In fact, there are more bird species in Costa Rica, a country about the size of West Virginia, than there are in all of North America. The foliage is so dense that you don't see as many things as you hear. There are 38 individual animals from 25 different species in this painting. The various classes represented are birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and insects.
