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 :)

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.

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.

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.
