    Peru, between Puno and Arequipa October 2022

    The last leg of the journey! A bumper bundle this time. #2 looks like an Ibis but I haven't been able to narrow it down further than that. #3Franklin's Gull? #4 Cinclodes? If so, which species? #5 Andean Goose All help always appreciated. A happy new year to you all, Andy

    Humebo Lodge Peru - July 2022 - Hummingbird ID

    Still working through photos from this year and re-identifying species I photographed in Peru. The attached photos show two species. I believe the one on the left is a Lesser Violetear (distinct from Mexican/Green in eBird FWIW (but open to being corrected). The bird on the right is confusing...

    A tricky bamboo specialist, we spent about two hours crawling around a sprawling Guadua thicket and only getting glimpses until we stumbled upon a path cutting through it, and found the twistwing hunting maybe 5 meters off said path, in an area with a much more open understorey, where it gave us...

    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)...
