Day of Portraits

August 11, 2020 by Chad de Bree

Unlike yesterday, the chimpanzees were very lively today and I was able to grab some better photos!

The chimpanzees were given access to Young’s Hill just a couple minutes before breakfast. But five minutes was too long for Jody. She was the first one out and immediately began foraging for some local plant life that grows on the hill.

Jody must have also anticipated Negra waiting for her. She initially brought two back, but ended up with one, and Negra with the other.

Later on in the day, I found Foxie out in the Greenhouse.

Though this one is a little blurry, I still like the pose in it and would consider it a crime not to share anyway.

Also unlike yesterday, I was able to finally capture Willy B in all his handsome glory. I had to be quick though because after hearing the shutter of the camera, he raced to the caging to see his portrait.

Happy Birthday, Erin!

August 11, 2020 by Katelyn

Today was sponsored by Maureen McHorney in honor of her daughter, Erin Yuhas, to wish her a Happy Birthday!

Erin is a long-time friend of the chimpanzees and she and her colleagues at Hartford Healthcare Medical Group Norwich recently got together to generously sponsor a day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees in celebration of World Chimpanzee Day, complete with heaps and piles of gifts.

Maureen, what a lovely way to celebrate Erin and her compassion heart! Thank you so much for making a difference in the chimpanzees’ lives in Erin’s honor and for giving us the chance to celebrate her with you!

Happy Birthday from all the primates at CSNW, Erin!! Have a beautiful day! Thank you for all the joy and love you help bring to the chimps’ days!
