Ara severus This bird proved to be one of the more elusive macaw species to photograph while in the Ecuadorian Amazon. We heard them frequently, but they simply never came down from the canopy. One day we hear some calling from a much lower level. We were able to silently paddle our canoe around a bend in the creek, and were treated to a great look at this beauty. Napo River, Ecuador
Saimiri sciureus macrodon A member of this squirrel monkey troop scored a great berry snack and kept it all to himself. Napo River, Ecuador
Amazona ochrocephala and Aratinga weddellii A mixed aggregation of parrots and parakeets horse around while waiting their turn at the clay lick. Napo River, Ecuador
