    One of these iconic birds that even non-birdwatchers can relate to! They had this rogue male while I was visiting. He gave us a fly-by when Byron and I were visiting the forest hummingbird feeders, and he turned up again when we were birding along the road in the afternoon (Tanagers galore, but...

    There was next to no light, and therefore high iso. Still, the experience needs to be shared ;) -- and great it was.

    Right on the outskirts of the quaint town of Jardin in Colombia is the most amazing Andean Cock-of-the-rock lek - the birds here are incredibly habituated and continued displaying right in front of us. One of the world's great birding experiences.

    Taken shortly after dawn on 29Oct2009 at a Cock-of-the-Rock lek in subtropical montane forest at Finca Angel Paz in the Mindo area on the west slope of the Andes in northern Ecuador. Suboptimal lighting at that time of day, and the thick vegetation hampered photography. I wish I had been able...

    I have tried several times to photograph this bird but everytime the surcomstances were bad (dark, rain etc.) It was dark this time as well (had to shoot in 800 Iso and with 1/15 sec. because flash was not allowed) but the pose was so good. Jack

    I like the shape of the head of a male andean cock of the rock and the color of his eye. The crest covers the bill and give him a beautifull shape.
