    Patrick, for sure is a bird to miss EASILY!.. it perches on sub-canopy, silent, for hours!!... I made some 'prospective' playback every 30 minutes / 200m or so on the area where it was seen before; and it worked out! I also missed it at Tandayapa in Ecuador and worked there for a full month...

    Streamcreeper gave nice views, very prolonged, at a little stream in W Andes.. drabber plumaged bird than I expected so was not so excited at the beginning when I saw it... That tanager you got rocks!!, its sister Scarlet-browed is commoner, and not difficult here in Colombia both in the...

    Patrick, enjoyed your post a lot and I am very very jealous of this Sulphur-rumped Tanager!.. we looked for it in the Rio Indio area near El Valle in Panama without success last September.. next time, next time I guess ...

    so I got some more new birds for me in that trip: White-tailed Tyrannulet that is not uncommon at Rio Blanco Reserve in C Andes where I have birded extensively!, and one I had been wanting to see for a looong time: Sharp-tailed Streamcreeper at Carmen de Atrato in the Choco!..

    I would have done it some weeks ago Xenospiza!!... I have never been able to lure out those Soras at Siecha for example... but do know how to get Hooded Antpitta in the Central Andes in the other hand... you should have proposed me that deal some days ago ;-) d.

    Your Most Recent "Life" Bird

    jeje, I know.. been trying to get them long time ago every year in/near Bogota without succeeding... maybe too much time invested in Hooded Antpittas, Sooty-capped Puffbirds, Yellow-headed Manakins, white-sand forest specialties, etc etc etc has let me without enough time for these neat migrants!

    Last trip (looking for orchids & birds) to the Western Andes Choco highlands of Colombia, including also a bit of Cauca Valley and a couple of C Andes spots, plus the lowlands of Uraba near the Choco, yielded a couple of much sought after birds for me: * Comb Duck (Sarkidiornis melanotos), that...

    indeed Patrick.. this species is basically been lost for loads of time and then the few places where it is been recorded have suffered of political instability so impossible to get there to see the bird.. now we found a very very easy and accessible, safe, place what is such a grand thing to...
