Male Torrent Duck, N. Peru June 2008.
23 June.
On leaving Pomacochas we headed along the Utcubamba Valley towards Leimebamba. We stopped a few times in appropriate spots seeing Black-necked Woodpecker (above), Chestnut-crowned Antpitta and Buff-bellied Tanagers.
Estancia El Chillo is a charming place (note the Spatuletails on the gate), but unfortunately the Koepcke's Screech-Owls were not in their usual roosting spot in the conifers this morning. Great views of Maranon Thrush here though - the most I've ever seen in one day.
