A day at Casa Bentbill

Coffee, birdsong and a tapir at the forest edge

Mornings here start slowly. Pour a coffee in the bright kitchen, carry it out to the covered deck and let the forest wake up around you.

Birds move through the trees all day, and with hundreds of species in the area, your list can grow without ever leaving the house. Keep your binoculars close, because you never know what will land nearby.

As the day goes on, keep an eye on the forest edge. Baird's tapirs visit the property, and seeing one step out of the trees is a moment you won't forget.

When evening comes, settle back into a comfortable, modern home and get ready to do it all again tomorrow. Curious about what you might see? Visit our Birds & Wildlife page.
