Back From Subic

The family is back from a two day stay in Subic. We stayed at Forest View (formerly called Forest Hills if I am not mistaken). We got to watch the macaques (again, but this time in a more natural setting). Turns out, the population in the said area is quite new. The alpha male is rather young, and the members seem a bit inexperienced; one had a missing hand, one lost its leg, and a third had its tail cut short, presumably due to traps. Nonetheless, Daddy and I were able to watch the alpha male assert his dominance by harassing the lower-ranking members of the troop. We also had the chance to see him mate with two females. I was a bit disappointed though with the fact that I only saw one crow near where we stayed.
