Howler Monkeys!

Another day of waiting for a Mayan Condor to smell our bait, but luckily we found some howler monkeys to entertain us while waiting to check the trap.


I'm getting quite a bit better at this binocular photography thing, and have figured out how to line up the camera lens with the binoculars without making it obvious in the picture what I'm doing. Some of these monkeys are practically posing for us!



We also growled at them a little, which brought upon this reaction:



Notice how the main male shuts the other monkeys up whenever they try to growl with him.

* This isn't the first time I've hung out with howler monkeys. Check out this video I took a few years ago in Costa Rica, and turn up the volume so you can hear the good parts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6hdIuRT6kU
