Jan 21, 2020 - Delfin II
We awoke to cool temperatures and what, at first, we thought
would be a rainy day. But the rain of the night gave way to comfortable and
clear conditions as we began our exploration of the Belluda Caño Creek. Almost
immediately we were greeted by the sounds of monkeys, spotting both Isabel saki
monkeys and saddle-backed tamarins within the first stretch of creek. All sorts
of wondrous creatures foraged and perched in the treetops. It is a time of
abundance for food and courtship. We even got to see a ringed kingfisher spread
his wings as he tried to woo a female.
Wildlife photojournalist and filmmaker Morgan (Mo) Heim raises a camera for one purpose – to capture moments in an animal’s life that will make us consider what that life means. Inevitably, those stories involve people as much as wildlife.
