  Thanks! We ran into a very cooperative family right by the path. I got shots of male, female, and immature! Posted 2 years ago

    Spectacular. So similar to Black-faced, but that range is crazy on this one. Posted 2 years ago

      I know, right? The degree of specialization between the different Amazonian ecosystems is just wild. Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago

        That's why I love it so much. You get these fascinating examples of evolution, and can see different variations just by crossing the river. Posted 2 years ago

        Exactly! At some point the other day, I heard a Thamnomanes antshrike, got a brief glimpse of a male, and put it down as Cinereous. But then a couple minutes later, the female popped up in front me, with that great blue and rufous combo, and I went: "oh wait that's right, I was seeing Cinereous yesterday on the north bank, but this is the south bank, ergo Bluish-slate!"
