Variegated tinamou
Probably the prettiest tinamou I've seen! Luckily, it was one of these occasions where it walked slowly away from me, instead of exploding practically from underfoot like a snipe and disappearing in the distance. It walked maybe 10 meters downhill and then appeared to be quite curious, popping...- Thibaud

White-browed Hawk
I was quite lucky with this rare hawk (which was a lifer). I heard it calling persistently and finally spotted it high up in a massive castaña tree. But I was with a bunch of students, so I only got a few shots before it took off. The next day I returned alone and played a recording, and soon...- Thibaud

Humaita Antbird
A notoriously skulking antbird, in Peru restricted to palm swamps in the southeast, I was lucky that the male was singing or I never would have even thought to look for it in the minuscule wetland (which had at most 5 palm trees) right behind the house where we were staying.- Thibaud

Birding in Peru in February
Hey there, I plan to go to Peru next February. I have two weeks to travel around but I heard that it's rainy season in some areas which I wanted to visit (Tingo Maria, Oxapampa) and now I am not sure if it is still rewarding. Do you guys have experiences with those spots in February or have any...- RedKite75
