Birding by Volunteering

10,000 Birds

My third trip was six months spend working on a monkey project in the jungles of Uganda. In Uganda I would often cross paths with Chimpanzees as they went about their lives and I went about mine (which was living with a troop of monkeys). In California I smelt the breath a Blue Whale as it passed feet beneath my boat.
