Mid-January, I was lucky enough to take a trip to Costa Rica with my family. Found there is one Earth’s most critically important ecosystems—the mangrove forest.

Kingfisher
A boisterous river bird drops from a tree and plunks headlong into the water. Seconds later it emerges, crested head flinging water back into the river channel. A fisher, this bird flutters above the stream, lets out a coarse and rattling call, then casts back into the water, returning with the fresh catch of the day.
