I had never been to Colombia before so didn’t know the best birding spots in the vicinity of the capital.

I was as quiet as a church mouse, waked the camera and let the lens rest on my lap. Do you hear that song?” At first nothing. Then I heard it. Finally the species was complete.

Like a shy stepchild, it’s always eclipsed by the wonders of Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, etc. Plate 97: Andean and partly Andean antshrikes, illustrated by Oscar Tintaya. Bolivia doesn’t come up much in discussions of birding travel. In this case, the hope is that publication of a field guide will increase the number of birders.

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!
