Here are a few shots from the Napo Wildlife Center in the Ecuadorian Amazon. It was fun using my dad’s tele-photo lens he brought down on the trip. But now I want a nicer one with built in IS. Only gonna cost around $2000 or so. Anyone? Anyone? I hope you enjoy them. Oh and dont forget, you can enlarge the picture by just clicking on it. Makes em a lot better I think.
A Squirrel Monkey checking out the scene.
Yeah, I know, its a crappy picture. But look close the monkey is flying. Oh and it is waving at you. Oh yeah, there is a baby on its back, too.
Watching the wife and kid jump.
Masked Crimson Tanager eating some food.
Limpkin hanging out.
King Vulture, a.k.a. Amazon Condor, perched. Relatively rare to see perched.
Lineated Woodpecker about to go to work. Note the tail working too.
Lineated Woodpecker now working.
Cobalt-winged parakeets at a clay click eating well, clay.
A Many-banded aracari high in the canopy. Taken from the canopy tower.
Lesser Kiskadee.
Not wildlife, but I like it.
WOW!!!!!

Hey, you all saw such cool animals! Amazon Condor (I freaked out for a second thinking ANDEAN Condor…), the monkey pics (Oh, I love the commentary on the flying mother picture. That was hilarious!), that awesome woodpecker with the coolest hairdo. Makes me think of someone sporting a mohawk dyed bright red. Oh how funny us humans are…
