  1. Streak-capped Spinetail

    Streak-capped Spinetail

    We saw several of these spinetails birding the ridge as they worked their way along moss and bromeliads covered branches. Endemic to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and Sierra de Perija in Colombia and Venezuela.

  2. Sierra Nevada Antpitta

    Sierra Nevada Antpitta

    Very limited range endemic Antpitta. Although we heard 2 or 3 birds this was the only one we managed to see as it perched briefly in a dense clump of bamboo by the track on the San Lorenzo ridge in Colombia’s Santa Marta Mountains. Challenging to photograph given virtually no light and how the...

  5. Santa Marta Parakeet

    Santa Marta Parakeet

    Endangered endemic parakeet restricted to higher elevations in the Santa Marta range. One of the best reasons to endure the 2 hour drive up the rocky "track" to the San Lorenzo ridge for first light when a small group of these birds can usually be found feeding on the fruiting trees before...

  6. White-tipped Quetzal

    White-tipped Quetzal

    Large trogon with a very scattered distribution in Northern Colombia and Venezuela, mainly in tall mature cloud forest. This is the female of a pair seen perched from the main track: some distance away but much closer than her mate who was too distant for decent photos!
