Great Potoo chick |
This Great Potoo chick was one of many great sightings on a beautiful morning in Manu! He hasn’t quite learned to “be the tree” as yet!

Masked Crimson Tanager |
Standing out even more, brilliantly colored Masked Crimson Tanagers came through our tree in a small flock. They offered great looks from all angles!

White-lored (Golden-bellied) Euphonia |
This little euphonia stayed and posed for quite a while. Not as boldly colored as most euphonias, her certainly lives up to whichever name is used in your current list… White-lored or Golden-bellied… maybe Euphonia chrysopasta would be best used!

Yellow-tufted Woodpecker |
We had as many as three of these wonderful woodpeckers in our tree at one time! At least one stayed around for quite awhile, offering a few good photo opportunities.

Our group on the tower platform… 150+ feet above the forest floor! |
A great group on a great morning of birding!
