  2. White-throated Toucan Pair PERU'13 SER

    White-throated Toucan Pair PERU'13 SER

    This bird is a large version of the Channel-billed Toucan, and at a distance is difficult to distinguish from it. By measuring the bill length in relation to head depth on the lower bird (in profile) in this image, a larger ratio than in the C-b Toucan, I decided on the ID. Anyone wish to...

  6. Slender-billed Kite PERU'13 SER

    Slender-billed Kite PERU'13 SER

    This species is rare and local according to the Schulenberg et al. (2007) field guide. It is similar to the Snail Kite, but replaces it in densely forested areas -- especially in wetland forest types. The Snail Kite has a longer tail with white on it.

    Yellow-headed Caracara PERU'13 SER

    Photos I have seen of this species typically show the head in profile. "Here's looking at you!" Like most of the photos in this series, this photo was taken from a small boat where I set up my tripod. Not only did I have to wait for the bird to pose pleasingly, but also had to wait...

    Limpkin PERU'13 SER

    I took this photo as it was turning dark, using a high ISO setting, and underexposing to maintain shutter speed in the unstable boat I was in. The photo was brightened in Photoshop. The result was a grainy photo with a certain charm.

    Bluish-fronted Jacamar PERU'13 SER

    This bird was making repeated forays to catch insects in flight, and returning to a perch on the same small tree at stream side. The center of the breast has a largely-greenish-yellow iridescence, despite the bird's name.
