With monkeys on a tree house

Comes some challenges. First of all, the monkeys love to leave not-so-small deposits of their presence on the deck of the tree house.

The guests the other night were a little worried, asking if the monkeys would attack them. No, they are not chimps and they won't go all nuts on you. We even put in a call to the rescue center up the road and they said they have never heard of a howler monkey attacking a person like that.

There is a baby in the family, so common sense dictates don't approach the baby, even though it doesn't come onto the tree house; just the alpha male.

The other morning, the male was outside of the tree house on the railing and was leaning across the railing and putting his hands on the glass, peeking in. This was about a foot above the bed where the guests were at. Possibly a Peeping Tom of the simian world.
