Taiwan - Chenjean's Village, Monkey Barks

Afterword to yesterday's post:  Our friend the monkey was absolutely right, in that once he climbed down into the foliage we had no chance of seeing him, though we strained our eyes for the slightest glimpse of fur or rustling of leaves.  Because of that, on every subsequent hike at this spot Terry and I stopped, remaining totally quiet for several minutes, looking up into the trees while remaining absolutely still (if it weren't for the killer heat and mosquitoes we would have done so for much longer).  One day we were rewarded with a deep-throated bark, perhaps signaling annoyance or a warning to others nearby.  Those guys are everywhere, though not seen.  Would love to set up a blind with a 500mm lens and just wait...
