The three ground-tyrants I just uploaded were all within 50 meters of each other! This is by the far the rarest, and we were extra lucky as it is an austral migrant and probably one of the first ones to have arrived that year! Posted 3 years ago

    Heh, and it looks like the other 2 were from my first visit to Peru, back in 2015! Posted 3 years ago
