Montreal Biodome 2016 (part 1)
June 28th, 2016

On June 16th I went to the Montreal Biodome along with my mother (visiting from Virginia), my husband and his mother. I brought the camera and captured all that I could! This first set is from the tropical, South American exhibit.

You can see my previous photo shoot at the Biodome here, here, here, and here (four pages worth.) I tried to focus on different subjects this time, although I couldn't resist a second crack at the Hyacinth Macaws.

Sometimes it's hard to shake the impression that these birds are funning with me.

Golden Lion Tamarin--a highly endangered monkey, with only about 3200 left in the wild. We mammals are not usually known for our striking colors, but I think these tamarins rivalled for beauty the macaws and other tropical birds that surrounded them.

Green Aracari, a type of small toucan. (It is a close relative of the Fiery-Billed Aracari that Michael and I saw in the wild in Costa Rica.) That's a Hyacinth Macaw in the background, to give you an idea of scale.


Scarlet Ibis


American White Ibis

I think of White Ibises as a temperate species since I regularly see them at Outer Banks, but their range actually extends as far as South America.
