Olive-backed Woodcreeper
Another day along the Manu Road at mid elevation is always a welcome opportunity! Birding here can be spectacular and filled with many surprises. Feeding flocks of woodcreepers, tree-runners and flycatchers can offer a flurry of challenges.

Orange-eared Tanager

 When tanagers come through in a feeding flock, some of the colors can be spectacular! The “Orange-eared Tanager” above was a lifer for me, but curious of its name. The RED markings are on the sides of the throat, not the head!

Slaty-capped Flycatcher

 Many solitary species were found as well, like the Slaty-capped Flycatcher above. He remained silent as he searched for a meal, but many others were anything but silent!

On our return we came across another bus of birders. What do buses do when they meet on a single lane, high mountain road? I will share the video in the next post!

    I think it will be an awesome cool bus crash. The winner who crash less can continue on the trip. 😉
