    Santa Marta Parakeet

    Santa Marta Foliage-gleaner

    Normally shy and retiring denizen of dense understory with a very limited range in the Santa Marta region. We were surprised to just come across this bird right by the roadside which seemed more interested in the large bug it picked up rather than us trying to watch it! Doesn't seem to be...

    Goliath coucal

    It was near the end of our day trekking, when we heard some calls and turned-out to be this adult calling a juvenile coucal "walking" inside another tree to come along. It was a training session then :) One of the checklist if you visiting Halmahera island
