Black howler monkey along the Monteverde Skywalk. A troop of about 20 monkeys, including several with babies, stopped for a lunch break about 5 feet from us. We were on an elevated skybridge in the cloud forest canopy. The largest male shared his vocal prowess with us - thrilling! Also saw Emerald Toucanettes eating fig fruits, and several Swallow-tailed Kites both soaring and perching in nearby trees.
