It’s hard to get photos of several chimps in one frame out on the hill. Typically they are foraging or exploring on their own or in pairs, but getting four, five, or six chimps in one frame is pretty rare. It seems this morning, JB was able to capture these rare moments when all but Negra were out on the hill checking out a helicopter flying overhead. They had a good perspective from where they were, I think. And since these aren’t close ups of the chimps, it gives you a new perspective as well.

I like this series a lot because both Jamie on ground and Missy (just above Jamie) are climbing up posts simultaneously. (Foxie is up top and Annie is on the bridge).
My very favorite photos! Amazing shots of amazing chimps!
do you know what the Helio was up to?
Hi Hillary – These helicopters were taking part in training exercises with the Department of Natural Resources in preparation for wildfire season – probably some of the same pilots that helped save the sanctuary property in 2012 🙂
Amazing, love you guys mucho mucho mucho!!!! (:(|)
