A stunning north Peruvian endemic, this canyon is pretty much the only reliable location for it.

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!
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...
