The last few standouts (for me) from my Peru trip:

This was my nemesis bird in the Amazon - our guide kept pointing them out - dark, little shadows fleeing deep into the bush, right up until our last day there when this little one stayed out on the trail - still haven't figured out which Tinnamou it is though! :lol:

Spent a morning floating around an oxbow lake: this little guy could fit in the palm of your hand

These last 2 are from Lake Titicaca, the Flicker was my nemesis bird up there, again, kept seeing them from a distance until our last few hours when I was able to get semi close!

WOW great pictures,
Last summer, I have heard 2 species of tinando hundereds of times, and never seen one, these are horrible birds, they frustated me intensely!

nice shots!

The Hoatzin birds have bizarre shape and striking colours. Their spiky rufous crests reminded me of the Roman soldiers helmets. Awesome photos!
