Field Notes

Description:

This cute little baby was interested in me while mom was paying attention to something completely different. Mom is brown with a dark head and the little one is dark all over.

Habitat:

In the jungle near the ocean. An employee at my resort told me the monkeys always come through this area at the same time of day. Sure enough I went at this time and there they all were. Pretty cool to see the baby too :)
