Chestnut-winged Hookbill
A striking furnariid, this was my first time seeing the species, and I got lucky with incredible views. The few times I've seen it since, it hasn't been anywhere near as cooperative!- Thibaud

Speckle-faced Parrot

Paramo pipit
Usually fairly skittish birds, this one was singing his heart out on the top of a bush and let me get reasonably close, allowing to finally get decent photos of the species.- Thibaud

Jet manakin
Ulcumano Ecolodge This a pretty tricky Andean manakin, quite inconspicuous but reasonably common around here (meaning I've seen it 4 times in nearly a year). The male is actually jet black, while the female (pictured here) is greenish, but both have characteristic white underwing coverts.- Thibaud

Common scale-backed antbird
Parque Nacional Yanachaga Chemilln, Sector Paujil This little female would regularly come out to have a bath in a little pond in the path just around sundown. I never saw the species in proper daylight or at another spot in the park.- Thibaud

Rufous-vented tapaculo
Parque Nacional Yanachaga Chemilln, Sector Chacos I'm very fond of tapaculos, and this one, one of eight (!) Peruvian endemics, is actually quite easy to track down in the region (relatively speaking of course, it's still a tapaculo!)- Thibaud

Streak-headed antbird
Carretera Antena, Oxapampa. This lovely little skulker is one of the few true montane antbirds, particularly fond of Chusquea bamboo. It's not very vocal but if you spot one, you can sometimes get them to come and check you out with a bit of playback, as was the case with this delightful male...- Thibaud

Casqued Oropendola
Parque Nacional Yanachaga Chemilln, Sector El Paujil Funny looking caciques, who look somewhat more like oropendolas than they do the other members of the genus. Terribly noisy, they often move in the forest interior in groups of three or four.- Thibaud

Whiskered flycatcher
Parque Nacional Yanachaga-Chemilln, Sector El Paujil These active little "flycatchers" (now in Tityridae) are usually conspicuous components of midstorey flocks, constantly changing perches and fanning their tails. But one day while I was having lunch, I noticed a family, two adults and one...- Thibaud

Olive-backed foliage-gleaner
Parque Nacional Yanachaga-Chemilln, Sector Paujil How luck works some times... I was walking down a trail one day. It was a little after one in the afternoon, blazing sun, dead quiet. And for some reason, I stepped off at one point to follow a slight noise, probably an antshrike. And maybe 20...- Thibaud

White-shouldered Antshrike
Parque Nacional Yanachaga Chemilln, Sector Paujil Out of at least 5 species of antshrikes that occur in that sector, this is probably the most shy. They stick to dense undergrowth, don't vocalize much and I never saw them with mixed flocks. But I finally lucked out one morning and managed to...- Thibaud

White-chested Puffbird
Parque Nacional Yanachaga Chemilln, Sector Paujil Puffbirds are some of my favorite neotropical birds, partly because they're so goofy-looking, and partly because they're usually rare and/or hard to find. I was walking down a trail and I suddenly saw a bird that had clearly been perched very...- Thibaud

Ash-throated Gnateater
Parque Nacional Yanachaga Chemilln, Sector Paujil These lovely little birds aren't particularly shy but they have a remarkable capacity for disappearing, even in areas with reasonably open understoreys. I spent an hour following a pair and they never left a strip of forest about 200 meters long...- Thibaud

Rufous-tailed Flatbill
Parque Nacional Yanachaga-Chemilln, Sector Paujil A lovely flycatcher, and easy to identify, such a delightful change of pace! (At least in Pasco where I saw it, where the other Ramphotrigon species don't occur). Easily located by its mournfull whistles, almost reminiscent of a hawk.- Thibaud
