Some remained stored for decades before a researcher would pick them up and inquired about these poorly documented specimens. A Guan was collected in 1876 in a mangrove forest near the border between Peru and Ecuador. This flock is composed of about 54 birds including nine breeding pair. Photo: Fernando Angulo Pratolongo.

Who can forget Mike and Corey’s stories about Maria, the Giant Antpitta at Refugio Paz de Las Aves, Ecuador, or James Currie ‘s quest to see the Scaled Antpitta at Tandayapa Lodge? Then, I remembered how often 10,000 Birds writers have written about Antpittas. Patrick has had his share of sightings in Costa Rica as well.
