  1. Gray-bellied Comet

    Gray-bellied Comet

    A stunning north Peruvian endemic, this canyon is pretty much the only reliable location for it. For some reason, it is not nearly as well known as the Marvelous Spatuletail, but when seen in flight, I'd say it's nearly as spectacular, and well deserving of attention, as it is probably at an...

    White-chinned/Parkinson's Petrels, nw Peru, saturday

    Hi everybody, I went on a little pelagic outing off the coast of Piura, in northwestern Peru last saturday, and Procellaria Petrels were some of the most common birds around. Many were clearly White-chinned, with a fully pale bill tip, and very rarely a visible white chin (see photos 1-3)...

    A lovely Andean relative of the much more common Blue-headed Parrot, this is one of the few times I saw it perched, but boy was that bird feeling cooperative!

    Foothill antwren

    While its lowland counterpart (Rufous-tailed) was quite a common sight just a few km away, this species appears to be rather rare, and bloody hard to pin down, considering how few photos of it exist despite is fairly large range. This is the best I could do, on one of the only two occasions I...

  14. Cabanis's Spinetail

    Cabanis's Spinetail

    This foothill spinetail, which is quite scarce in Central Peru, where it reaches the edge of its distribution, turned out to be incredibly skulking, much more so than the previous species. This is a juvenile, as the only photos I ever managed of the adults were even worse.
