The first photos were taken from my porch. This young male was about 20 feet away. The next set of photographs were taken near Playa Escamequita. The photographs of a male hanging out in the pink blossoms were taken 200 feet into the road leading into our property. The middle photos images are from an overnight visit of 11 Howler monkeys (also known as Congo monkeys). The jefe actually climbed over the treetops to come get a closer look at me - and my camera! At one point he was in a tree ten feet above me, five feet in front of me - and my 300 mm lens was just too big to get a good shot! The latter photos are from a tribe of 50 Congo monkeys (including at least 10 babies) that came for a visit this summer. They spent several hours hollering, swinging through trees, and taking care of the little ones. These are the best of 200 photos. I used my 300 mm lens, great for definition, but difficult to focus between the branches.
