Monkey Day at the Orchid House

The Male Howler has been waking us each morning for the past week - sometimes right outside the window, sometimes a bit deeper in the jungle.  This morning was no different - just past 5 am he started, but was brief with his welcome to the day.

About 7:30, he started again - very very close!

Outside and follow the sound - there he is in the tree right outside the kitchen window.

After 30 minutes he decided to stop hanging around and sit quietly a little bit away.  It was only then that we saw the rest of the family - 2 females and a baby - in the adjacent tree.

Nice way to start the day!
