More photos from the Amazon!

A cappuchin monkey wondering what we were up to!

At the Macaw clay lick!

This is a Poto bird that is kindof like an owl but in a separate family. It was sitting completely still next to her baby looking like a branch (literally she and the baby were so hard to see) then a Toucan swooshed in (they eat the babies) and she moved her wing to protect the baby. Her eyes got really big and then once the threat passed she went back to a perfectly still pose with her wing tucked back in. Beautiful bird.

This howler monkey just sat with its head in the crook of its elbow and watched us for the longest time!

Here are a few more photos from the Amazon! Great monkeys, macaws and scenery! Only one morning of rain in the rainforest in the 6 days we were there but when it rained, it poured!  Lucky for us!

Thank you so much for posting these wonderful photos. The creatures and the forest look absolutely intriguing. Wish I could be there seeing these things with you, but your stories and photos are a much valued substitute!
