This male was very protective of the younger howlers.

Howler Monkey-faraway friday AMAZON
This male was not happy that we stopped our canoe to watch his troupe in the tree tops. So he positioned himself over us and pooped (just missing my husband but hitting our guide). He got us moving again!
Faraway Friday- King
I shot this photo of a Kingfisher in the Amazon. He is very similar to ours, just a little tweak in the coloring, but just as fast!
Amazon-Lemon Throated Barbet
I call this “The Flamenco Dancer”. The way he kept throwing his one wing out while on the branch reminded me of a dancer throwing the bottom of her dress..
Amazon-They have Kingfishers too!
They are just as fast as they are here. I took one shot trying to pan and keep up with him. The other at 1/3200 of a second to try and catch him in flight.
Amazon–It’s jumping
Amazon-Happy Lil Howler
Howler monkies scare me. The big male makes this creepy ongoing ghost like howl throughout the day…make you feel like you’re being haunted by something you cant see. Then when you do see them the males often bare their big fangs and really howl at you.
HOWEVER- we did frequently see the male protecting and teaching the younglings, like in this photo.
