Chris: Very interesting. I noticed the branch took a bounce at the end…I guess something landed 😊
Krish: That was a third hornbill, rudely landing on their branch :)

With so many flashy hummingbirds around, this species still stands out in his own way with a unique plumage. Palo Alto Eco Lodge in the Santa Marta Mountains

BrianMorin: Good capture. With those subdued colours it would be easy to overlook.
Sue Bishop: Glad you were able to see some of our old friends.

Santa Marta Bush Tyrant (1)

Myiotheretes pernix

(Endangered)

Chris

Colombia

Date taken: Feb 21 2023

At the surprise of Ricardo Martinez and several others, I spotted this species (not knowing what it was). On showing the photo, the field marks are all there for Santa Marta Bush-tyrant. Unfortunately for everyone the bird immediately disappeared and no better photos could be managed - apologies for that. Cuchillo San Lorenzo, Santa Marta Mountains.

Sue Bishop: Nice you could get some endemics.
Chris: I believe we saw 10 endemics that morning…a special place.

Black-throated Tody-Tyrant (2)

Hemitriccus granadensis

Chris

Colombia

Date taken: Feb 21 2023

Living up to reputation of being quiet and inconspicuous, another species in difficult photo conditions. Cuchillo San Lorenzo, Santa Marta Mountains.

BrianMorin: Very difficult to capture birds in the jungle with limitations from both light and vegetation. This species is particularly challenging because it blends in so well. At least you were able to get a sharp focus.
Sue Bishop: Cute little guy.

Streaked Xenops (1)

Xenops rutilans

Chris

Colombia

Date taken: Feb 21 2023

Aside from managing something in focus, about the only good thing with this photo is that it shows the somewhat unique upturned bill. This bird was located (thinking it was a woodpecker) with a loud tapping near the Eco Lodge at Cuchillo San Lorenzo
