One reason that I can think of for subjecting myself to such a torturous experience is if I am going birdwatching. I had just ended my ten-day birding adventure in Ecuador (which is a story for another time) when I decided, since I had an amazing time, to prolong my trip a bit longer before heading back to Europe. Ah, what the heck!

The adults presumably have already learned that humans are not usually good news even if not named Donald Trump. I guess you cannot be too choosy while traveling, as I have learned when on trips in Ecuador and other places. A Lesser Cuckoo stayed in one of the Nanhui microforests for a few days, not being afraid of humans at all.

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!
