N. ECUADOR 2009: Refugio de los Antpittas.

Snr. Angel Paz and Giant Antpitta (on the bank just to the right of his head), N. Ecuador January 2009.

"Maria" the Giant Antpitta at Angel Paz's reserve.


Another great morning at Angel Paz's Antpitta reserve near Mindo. "Willy" the Yellow-breasted Antpitta (above) finally showed after a lengthy wait but "Maria" (the Giant Antpitta) appeared very quickly as usual. Otherwise it was a bit quiet on the reserve in the forest. No sign of the White-faced Nunbird as usual (will I ever see this bird?) but I suppose Andean Cock-of-the-Rock at a lek is not to be sniffed at.
