With only two days left in our ten-day adventure, it was time to pack up again, bid adios to Montverde and start the trip to the Guanacaste Province. As is my normal routine, I quickly requested that our driver put us on any possible wildlife…and be prepared to quickly stop should something be sighted. He laughed and said that my request was pretty normal. He went on to say that if we had time, there was a nice rest stop along the way that often-had macaws in the trees above. We said “Let’s do it!”
I was told many years ago by a fellow wildlife guy that the difference between a great picture and a good one is often the background. Nearly a week earlier, another driver put us on a tree with three beautiful macaws feeding above. I got some very difficult to obtain, but great shots with highway speed traffic zooming past. The problem with those shots was the tree they were in looked to be in the early stages of fall foliage, as each leaf had dozens of nasty brown spots on them. A great memory captured, but they will be just for me.
After a bit of interstate driving, he announced that our rest stop was just ahead. As we pulled in you could see the gift shop (just as frequent as wildlife) and several visitors standing in the parking lot, all of them looking up. I’m pretty sure I left a perfect face-print on his window as I struggled to see what they were looking at as our driver parked the van.
Within a half-step of exiting the van, 10-12 beautiful macaws came into view…not to be seen as an afterthought, but they were feeding, preening and roosting in a couple of the most magnificent trees that I have ever seen! I captured a couple of the closer ones before moving around the area where I noted this one, sitting a bit lower than most…only some 40 or so feet up and in perfect light. As I obtained focus on him, I quickly noted that his eyes were shut…not the photo I wanted. Moving on to another, and another and another, I came back to him several times. His eyes were always shut.
It was about time to go when I realized that I had not yet taken advantage of the facilities…at 63 I have learned to never pass on an opportunity! On exiting the facilities, I noticed that our driver had backed out the van and the Mrs. and our friends were starting to load. I took one last glance at my friend captured here to see a yawn, I swung my camera in the air to capture several probable blinks…but with the tilt of his or her head and open beak instantly remined me of the Harry Connick Jr’s song “A wink and a smile” …a tune I think of every time I see this shot!
I climbed back into the van knowing that with the spotless facilities and scarlet macaws above, that this might be my best highway rest stop ever!
High on a hill in Montverde is a platform that allows one to view this magnificent landscape. The clouds were colored from the early morning sun while the land below was still resting in the shadows.

This house was personally built in 1893 by John Phillip Donnelly for himself and the former Annie Stone, whom he married on August 27, 1891. It shows a Queen Anne style, with an octagonal turret and wraparound porch. In 1930, it became the Masonic Temple Lodge.
J.P. Donnelly, originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, laid out the town and served as its first mayor. He had homesteaded 160 acres in 1879, and by marrying the former wife of William D. Stone, he doubled his holdings. A building on the campus of the Montverde Academy is named after him, as thanks for his generous contributions.
This home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

- has a very light ghost image of Cecil Ferguson (Boston Braves) on the back of the card...wet sheet transfer...
Cecil Benoni "George" Ferguson (b. August 19, 1883 in Ellsworth, Indiana – d. September 5, 1943 in Montverde, Florida at age 60) was a professional baseball player.
He was a right-handed pitcher over parts of six seasons (1906–1911) with the New York Giants and Boston Doves / Rustlers. During his career, he compiled a 29–46 record in 142 appearances, with an 3.34 earned run average and 298 strikeouts.
Cecil “George” Ferguson had a respectable 11–11 season with the Boston Braves in 1908 with a 2.47 ERA, but then he injured his arm, effectively snuffing out a promising career. The following season Ferguson had 30 starts and appeared in 36 games, going 5–23 with a 3.73 ERA. He led the National League in losses that year, and finished second-worst in earned runs allowed. He pitched just 147 innings after that season and was out of the majors 2 years later.
A solid hitter for a pitcher, Ferguson twice hit over .286.
Ferguson did try the minors but without success. He pitched a 1–6 season for the Venice Tigers in the Pacific Coast League and then left baseball after the 1913 season when he was 29 years old.
After his baseball career, Ferguson became an osteopathic doctor, and gave medical treatment to many Major League baseball players. Ferguson was also the coach of the baseball team at the American School of Osteopathy.
MLB debut - April 19, 1906, for the New York Giants
Last MLB appearance - July 21, 1911, for the Boston Rustlers
MLB statistics:
Win–loss record 29–46
ERA - 3.34
Strikeouts - 298
Teams:
New York Giants (1906–1907)
Boston Doves / Boston Rustlers (1908–1911)
