Some moments in life reassure you, letting you know that you've made the right choices. My visit to Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary was one of these such moments.

We did something no good biologist should do--feed the monkeys. Don't worry, I got my karmatic punishment--later the "king" of the monkeys almost attacked me because he had labeled me as a vending machine. Don't feed the monkeys! (even if it is really fun)

Very nice & interesting blog, Nichole. Hope you have time to visit China, where there's plentiful interesting & serious materials/cases for you: monkeys(all sorts), birds, dragonfly, plants, Chinese food(authentic), and cultural shock! ^_^
Awww...aren't they precious?

I DID NOT EVOLVE FROM THOSE!!!
