?cooper's hawk. On edge of forest near pond. Crow sized. First bird came in squawking like a crow. It did this for a long time until the second bird flew in and landed on the top of the hemlock tree.

I stopped to photograph this tarantula on the road and noticed it had a frog in its jaws. Seemed too big for E. cystignathoides? But I will call it that to get it "into the system" for opinions.

This pair of now extinct Golden Toads was photographed at the entrance to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve where they were kept for visitors to the park to see since their observance in the wild was limited to only a few days a year during the onset of their breeding season (late May & early June). This species is sexually dimorphic, the males are bright orange or yellow and females are dark brown with red spots.

Lang, H., Chapin, J.P., 1917. The American Museum Congo Expedition collection of bats. Part III. Field notes. Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist. 37(18): 497-563.
"They may be considered typical of the region of equatorial rain-forests, as they seem to be absent from the bushveldt to the north of Niangara, although in the latter place they are still common. The large forest galleries along the Uele and its affluents evidently still furnish a suitable environment."

Quagga - the unstriped zebra
Reference observation for the extinction collection: http://www.ispotnature.org/projects/extinct
.
The plight of the Quagga is well documented. Wiki is quite reliable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quagga
.
The Quagga was the southernmost distributed Plains Zebra, occurring south of the Orange River. Its habitat was the grasslands of the Grassveld and Nama Karoo in the EC, NC, WC, FS.
It went extinct during the 1870s, and the last captive animal died in Amsterdam in 1873.
.
Concepts have oscillated between it being a species or subspecies, and the current consensus is that it was a subspecies and thus amenable to "recreation" by selecting those Quagga-like morphs of the Plains Zebra Equus quagga subsp. antiquorum (often known as subspecies burchellii or Burchells Zebra).

Date is approximate. 3 individuals (2 males & 1 female) seen sometime in April, 1987. My mother and father (@dmpeterson ) were living in Monteverde in the spring of 1987, staying with the Gavin family. I have been digitizing their old slides, and thought these ones were significant, so I uploaded them. The date and location are approximate, based on their best recollection.
