Hoatzin - couple, Sani Lodge, Ecuador
They really are everywhere in this place, which is a really good sign as they only thrive is pristine lagoons. They are hard to miss as they are constantly bickering in duos or triplets and loudly and clumsily hopping on thin branches.
The hoatzin is a species of tropical bird found in swamps, riparian forests, and mangroves of the Amazon and the Orinoco basins in South America. It is the only extant species in the genus "Opisthocomus" which is the only extant genus in the Opisthocomidae family under the order of Opisthocomiformes.
