I pushed a blog post after our first full day of this photo tour and then we were going so fast and furious that I never had a chance to share more images from this amazing place. We had a TON of wind and rain on the day we landed and then had great weather ever since. And as usual, we have seen so much wildlife!
We watched as some White-faced capuchin monkeys jumped from one tree to another.
We also came across some Scarlet macaw nesting in a tree.
We were driving by a river when we saw these birds flying around an open field. I used the subject detection of the Canon R1 (with the RF 100-500mm lens) to lock in on this little one as he flew right at us.
We had some great sightings of sloths on this trip, seeing both two-toed sloth and three-toed sloth many times.
This three-toed sloth was in a perfect position for photography...
...and then I set up my tripod and shot some video with the Canon R1. I posted a 30 second clip of this to show you how they eat and how they move. You can click the image above or click this
link to see the movement. And yes, they move pretty slow.
This was an 8 month old sloth who came down really slow.
In the sloth area, they also have beautiful birds and flowers. I caught this hummingbird gathering some nectar.
I got much closer to this Red-lored amazon (with a much better background).
While walking around the resort property, I found this pack of Squirrel monkeys that were passing through.
It was awesome to see so many youngsters!
As they headed towards my building, I went up to the roof to see if I could get a photo at their eye level or looking down on them. I caught this one monkey lounging on a branch.
For the first time ever, we found a tree with at least forty Howler monkeys. They hung around forever and we all had a blast capturing images of these awesome monkeys.
I saw this youngster hanging from a tree and loved the pose.
Stay tuned for more photos from the rain forest of Costa Rica!
