Date: April 12 to April 20 2006

I was in manu area from April 03 to April 20 of 2006, working with the metal tower close to the Harpy Eagle nest. We build a 30 meters hight tower and the distance from the tower to the nest is 25 meters away the same nest level. The eagles have one chick in the nest, I saw the parent bringing a Duski Titi monkey to feed the chick and they where active, the adults eagles where easy to see close to the nest specialy the mother.

The nest is in the Dicterix Tree, locally call Chihuhuaco this tree is one of the stronger tree in the Amazon area.

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.
