Ooops, I almost forgot about Camera Critters this weekend! Thanks for the reminder. All your photos are great, but I especially love the third one - he's beautiful!
Hey I saw this pelican looking bird that sounded like a cross between a duck and a ghost at the CCC Devil's Lake trail on Friday, any ideas what it might be? It seemed way too big to be in WI. Huge nest precariously built at the top of a tall, skinny pine that swayed so much I thought the whole thing, pelican and all would spill out.
I just looked up "heron" cuz some hippie ranger said they were nesting in another spot more by the lake, but I think that was it. Should have looked it up first, but I can tell you where some nests are if you want to get shots.
The white guy - I can't remember what they are called - but we saw a pair like that when we took our trip to the Winston Animal Safari. And while we were there the two guys were "whoop"ing. I couldn't believe how loud they were. I tried to imagine what it must be like in the jungles when they call.
I LOVE watching the monkeys at the zoo...so fascinating! Great shots!
ReplyDeletegreat photo series of monkeys. i now see the different kinds of monkeys or orangutans. thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteMonkey's are really neat to capture through a lens. I love the baboon too!
ReplyDeleteThey are beauties. Their faces are so expressive.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome!

(Mh, why did this one not pop up in my RSS?)
Ah, I think it's Flock's RSS reader again (my browser). The Ice cave must have been an older post popping up then, sigh :D
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots! Very sharp and bright colors. Have a great week, Lisa :)

ReplyDeleteAwh, what great close-ups... I like the 3rd guy, he looks quite impressive, like he's saying "I don't think you really want to make me mad..."
