Through a Window

December 13, 2020 by Anthony

Windows are cool.

They let us keep an eye on the residents but, more importantly, also serve to give the chimpanzees a current view of their surroundings. The chimps use them to socialize with the neighbors, survey the property, and monitor human activity.

Today, I took some photos of the chimps from outside their areas.

On snowy days like today, the windows are even more crucial. Why step outside and get cold toes when you can just spy on everyone from a warm blanket nest? Their logic is irrefutable.

I also stepped into the new playrooms (under construction but almost finished) and looked through all the windows to imagine what the new chimps will see when they get here. J.B. is still rigging the overhead LED lights and some of the windows are still covered, but the windows and skylights fill the space with soft sunlight even on cloudy days. Of course, Honey B watched me the whole time from the reinforced window that looks into the new addition from the Mezzanine.

    Thank you for the beautiful photos. I wish I had a view like that last one, I’d sit there every morning, drink my coffee and watch the cows.

      Watching cows is the best! šŸ™‚

    I think of how Negra enjoys looking out her window from up high, Queen of all she can see far and wide and below. Jody looks so small peeking out of her window. I agree with Betsy’s comment above, the views from the sanctuary are so exquisite I too would build a cozy nest on a winters day and look out my window all day long.

      I totally agree, Kathleen!

    The views are spectacular and I’m happy the chimps can look out and see nature if they chose to not go out for any reason.

      It definitely helps when the weather is too cold or too hot… or whenever there’s a massive construction project going on right in their backyard. šŸ˜‰
