Blanquillo Clay Lick, Manú National Park, Peru
Every morning, hundreds of Parrots and Macaws come to the clay lick from which they eat the minerals they need for their diet. It's a spectacular performance, with a few birds (always the parrots) arriving first and waiting in the trees overhead until a large number have congregated before descending to the lick. Meanwhile, the macaws have been gathering too and seem to be more cautious than the parrots but eventually they drop down and start to eat. The noise they make is incredible, and it's amusing to watch them squabbling amongst themselves. The birds at this lick had reason to be cautious as there is an ocelot who lurks there with a ready meal on its mind. Unfortunately, we didn't see it on any of the occasions when we visited the lick.
We were in a purpose-built hide a good distance from the lick so photography was challenging to say the least for a 300mm lens even with a 1.4 converter.
With five of us wedged into a wobbly, four-seater plane, this is a selection of shots from our sweaty one-hour flight from Manaus, in the Brazilian Amazon, to Novo Aripuana -even deeper in the Amazon- and back. Many thanks to Daniel, the pilot, for permitting the use of electronic devices. Aerial view of the Amazon Rainforest, near Manaus, the capital of the Brazilian state of Amazonas.

Amazon Princess "Zaphera"
Born in the Amazon, but raised in the city, Zaphera is a Diva! She loves to shop. Stones, coral, shells, colorful feathers anything found in nature. Tribal tattoos are just another way for her to express herself.

Accommodations in the Amazon aren't that plentiful. Our choice was Ariau Towers. For those familiar with the Survivor TV Show, this was the hotel the film crew stayed in during the taping of Survivor: The Amazon. The hotel looked like it had seen better days, but then again the conditions are rather harsh. It's hard to describe how much the area floods, hence everything being built on stilts. Some of the more famous guests have included Bill Gates, Jimmy Carter, Susan Sarandon, Alanis Morissette, etc... This picture is the interior of one of the towers. Our room was the one on the left.
With all that said, probably one of the things I will remember most from this location was our guide. He told us of how they would paddle on the river two hours one-way to the nearest school each day. He was currently in the midst of teaching himself his fifth language. His determination to better himself was inspiring.
Enjoy the weekend.
Thanks for looking!

Our Amazon adventure started in Puerto Maldonado, from the Peruvian side. Staying near the Reserva Nacional Tombopata area. It was so hot the first 2 days, I didn't think I could last for the planned 5 days.

One of the truly pristine areas of the tropics is located in Peru´s southernmost jungle department of Madre de Dios. At 4.5 million acres, the National Park of Manu is one of the best areas in the Amazon rainforest for watching wildlife. Due to the remoteness of the area, you will see an abundance of monkeys (13 different species), turtles, giant otters, peccaries, capybaras, tapirs, jaguars and macaws. Manu is also an unparalleled place for bird watching. It harbors over 1,000 species of birds, 300 more species than are found in the U.S. and Canada alone. New species are continually being discovered.
There are yet more chances to see birds in the second largest reserve: the Reserva Nacional Tambopata Candamo. The reserve encompasses the entire watershed of the Rio Tambopata, one of the most beautiful and least-disturbed areas in Peru. The reserve protects the largest macaw lick in South America, the Colpa de Guacamayos. Here birdwatchers can view one of the world´s phenomenal avian spectacles, as hundreds of red, blue and green parrots and macaws gather at the lick daily.
