Although by this time we had already clocked around a hundred species after a day and a half in Guyana, we were understandably eager to explore the famous rugged interior of the country.

This is not the most confusing aspect of birds by any means, after all there are tanagers which belong in the cardinal family and cardinals that are tanagers. These birds occupy literally every terrestrial habitat within their extensive range, from high altitude forests to coastal, rocky habitat.
