ACOTR.jpg (Rupicola peruvianus)

Andean Cock of the Rock. National Bird of Peru. I had to hike over a very steep mountain, two hours each way. Very difficult. Also difficult to photograph due to the dark jungle and the two-toned body, with half being light and half very dark, which made camera settings tricky.

Thank you Stanley. There might be other places that are easier to see it without hiking over a mountain.
