One of my best experiences while doing field recording. I catched this take in Costa Rica on a canoe ride down the cano negro, a mangrove swamp with lots of water ways and channels. On this bit a howler monkey started growling on the left hand side of the water, while spider monkeys climbed through the forest canopy on the right. The beautiful call of the montezuma oropendola bird echoes over the water surface, then after some time a caiman jumps into the river. There is no editing here, this is how it sounded on the water.
