This map shows the distribution of the World’s bird species, based on overlying the breeding and wintering ranges of all known species. And it raises a question: if all the birds are having a party over there, am I in the wrong spot? Ecuador (1590 / 1641). Why am I here? And where all those birds are? As is every one after it.

I photographed this Guianan Cock-of-the-rock at a lek site near Surama, deep in the rainforest zone of Guyana, and my incredible experience with Andean Cock-of-the-rocks was at a display lek on the edge of the town of Jardin, in the coffee-belt of Colombia, both just incredible birds that make the heart soar with joy!

Corey was lucky enough to meet Carlos while birding in Ecuador , where Carlos was dragooned into accompanying the horde of Queens birders for the day, an encounter that somehow didn’t turn him off of all things New York. Carlos Sanchez is an excellent birder, a Miami resident, and a polyglot.

I guess you cannot be too choosy while traveling, as I have learned when on trips in Ecuador and other places. Maybe it was raised by some caged birds in close proximity to humans, though I lack any proof of this theory whatsoever. Soldiers could probably learn a lot about camouflage from this species.
