Long-wattled Umbrella Bird, Recinto 23 de Junio, Ecuador
Perhaps the highlight of a trip with so many. Seeing the wattle fully extended in display at the lek was a rare sight to see! Seeing the lek almost never happened since a mudslide blocked our path on our first attempt. We had to redo our schedule and our second try was a huge success.
I managed to capture him calling.
Nine-year old Aditya managed to trek through the mud to the lek to get this beautiful shot.
We also managed to get this shot within the foliage.
