Ecuador, the true birder's paradise. Almost unreal - everywhere you looked was overwhelming. This one from the Alambi Reserve west of Quito.

Brian Morin: An amazing subject accented with a very nice background.
Chris: Thanks Brian. Sat still just long enough. The jet lag from the overnight flight was a challenge…but sleep on the first day simply wasn’t an option :)

The lover mandible on this bird was deformed but it didn't seem to have trouble feeding.

Date uploaded: Apr 23

Comments (2):
Brian Morin: That deformity is due to avian keratin disorder. It can manifest to varying degrees, some extreme, but as you noted, this one is not significant. Good capture too.
Chris: Very good one - never too common.
