By: Alex Duran February 15th & 21, 2007 I was in Amazon Manu Lodge, for 7 days, birding around and I registered many birds but the most spectacular bird was the Festive coquette for me, this bird is so pretty and difficult to see in the forest, the hummingbird visited all the mornings to the garden of the lodge, from 11 in the morning to 12 pm. Easy to see during that time.

By: Walter Mancilla January 05th, 2007 I had the luck of being able to see a beautiful jaguar, in the mammal Clay Lick, attacking a group of wild pigs (white lipped peccary), this place is perfect to be able to take good photos from animals, monkeys, and birds and predators. These places are visited by many species of animals, monkeys and birds to be able to eat the mineral concentration that exists in the clay lick. The platform is very comfortable to be able to observe birds and one can remain to sleep.

PIGMY MARMOSET: Date: February 01 to March 05, 2006 Pygmy Marmosets in Iquitos are really incredible and they are very social. We had been working with NHK film crew from Japan in all February. This program will be caming out on April, 2006. We found 10 groups of 5 to 7 individuals in each group. At the end of the film, they became more friendly, coming close 20 centimeter next to us. They have babies all year round and we filmed two groups with two babies. All the adult members help carrying the babies on the back. They feed on insects and tree sap. |
