Bobbing heads of couple of Saffron Finches in the rain, for some cuteness from Guayabetal, Colombia.

A male Chestnut-breasted Chlorophonia in Camino Montezuma, Tatama National Park, Colombia. It is an unreal combination of colors!

Cundinamarca Antpitta, the species that Peter Kaestner discovered (the only birder who has seen 10K species), the scientific name is named after him, in Guayabetal, Colombia.

A cozy pair of Band-tailed Nighthawks during the night boat safari on Rio Negro in the state of amazonas, Brazil, west of Manaus.

Ochre-collared Piculet, a tiny woodpecker, in the Iguazu National Park in Argentina. Wish it was facing me.

Thrush-like Wrens with their calls that sound like videogame sound to me, in the Iguazu National Park in Argentina. They are large wrens.
