Near-endemic Bicolored Antpitta - Grallaria rufocinerea 1 - Rio Blanco, C A (Grallaria rufocinerea)

This bird we got in the November/December Sunrise Birding [ http://www.sunrisebirding.com/11Colombia_web/index.html ] trip to Colombia... an amazing trip where we found teh 2nd American Avocent for Colombia, added new locality in the C Andes for the enedemic Yellow-headed Brush-Finch, made the first voice recordings of the endemic Sapphire-bellied Hummingbird, and did tremendously well recording almost 500 species in a couple of quick weeks in Santa Marta Mountains and Caribbean Lowlands + C & W Andes and Cauca & Magdalena Valleys.

Thanks Gary... finding antpittas is always a great job.. fun, time consuming, exciting!!.. these days these jewels are easily found at the feeding stations where they come for worms every morning/afternoon.. so photography is become accessible for us not great photographers!.. anyways, still prefer to hunt and find them in the real wild forest understory!
