I was personally so thrilled at being given the opportunity to see and digiscope an image of this secretive little creature that I didn’t even bother to straighten the camera before depressing the shutter.
Those who have not visited Canopy Tower might be tempted to think that is it solely a place where avid bird watchers go to enlarge their respective life lists.
I was down in the dining room pouring my second glass from the pitcher of fresh papaya juice to which I have now become addicted when a voice was heard from above – “Long-billed Gnatwren heard calling!”
Then the call came in. It was Carlos, the chief guide at Canopy Tower. He was up on Pipeline Road where he had spotted a group of Western Night Monkeys huddled in a tree and knew I’d want to get a look at them.
Regardless of where your travels might take you in this world, it’s always a good idea to read-up on your destination before you go. For travelling naturalists and wildlife photographers, such preliminary study is not just a good idea, its of paramount importance.
