  8. Cinnamon-breasted Tody-Tyrant

    Cinnamon-breasted Tody-Tyrant

    This little sprite is only known from a few ridges on either side of the Peru-Ecuador border, and Fundo Alto Nieva is probably the best place to see it in Peru. After a couple encounters in dense undergrowth, we lucked out with this very friendly individual who hung out right by the path!

    Hooded tinamou

    We were watching an antpitta at the feeder, when we suddenly noticed this tinamou had crept in and was watching the scene just a few meters behind! I was able to get a few shots of this tricky species before he wandered off into the forest.

    Rufous-headed Pygmy Tyrant

    A lovely little cloud-forest flycatcher, more easily seen than heard, this one was kind enough to pop up right in front of me and while we froze, looking at each other, I had just enough time to get that one shot before the crossed the path and vanished in the bamboo thickets!

  13. Green Manakin

    Green Manakin

    A nice little manakin, fairly common in the lowland forests of Pasco, though since the males lack a distinctive plumage, it always needs to be IDed with care.

    Round-tailed Manakin

    The males of this species are easily identified thanks to the combination of their red head and white eyes. The round tail that gives them their name is actually quite obvious at certain angles and can be useful in identifying the typically drab females.

    Inambari Woodcreeper

    A discrete relative of the far more common Montane Woodcreeper (and told from it by its unstreaked crown, nape, and back), this was the only time I saw it during my year in Peru.

  16. Pale-rumped Swift

    Pale-rumped Swift

    The less common relative of the Gray-rumped Swift I uploaded the other day. It's one of these typical tricky species pairs (like Sparrowhawk/Goshawk) where, if you're wondering which one it is, it's probably the commoner one. In this case, I'd occasionally see Gray-rumped Swifts whose rumps did...

    Mishana Tyrannulet

    Peru's other endemic Zimmerius, with a highly localized and strangely disjunct distribution, though not that hard to find when you're in the right place, and even better if a local takes you (thanks Warren!).

    Gray antbird

    While the other Peruvian Cercomacra species are understorey skulkers, this one is a canopy bird! It's easily located thanks to its loud song, but it can be hard to actually see as it prefers to stay within vine tangles.

    Peruvian wren

    A Peruvian member of the charismatic Andean genus Cinnycerthia, which share the interesting characteristic that individuals have a varying amount of white on the head ranging from none, to a simple eyering, to blotches that can cover most of the head. This is apparently in relation to breeding...

    Opal-crowned tanager

    A lovely tanager, of which I'd only caught fleeting glimpses farther south, but I had the good luck of running into a very cooperative group at the famous terrace of El Mono y la Gata, near Tarapoto.
