  Woohoo!. Black-tailed is a good one. I have one from Palmari, but your picture is much better. Posted 2 years ago

    Fantastic shared accomplishment and achievement! Thank you both for pushing this number. I shall now commence with a full antbird homepage takeover. Antbirds only.
    
    Anticipating this achievement, I've had time to consider a next target which I've named "War of the Wings": there should be more birds on JD than moths/butterflies. We can't let these silly light huggers win. Posted 2 years ago

      I had a few more queued up, but I wanted Thibaud to get #100.
      
      We're going to be hard-pressed to get more birds than moths/butterflies, though. We only have 10,500 species of birds to work with! Posted 2 years ago

        That's easily solved, we'll just split species :)
        
        Kidding aside, my target wasn't very serious. It cannot be achieved in the long run, as you say. 4,500 may be a nice achievable target, and a bit longer term I'm hoping for 5,000. I do believe though that there's a diminishing return. It will get ever harder to add new ones, as they obviously were (very) uncommon or hard to reach. Posted 2 years ago

        Mike, you're a gentleman and a scholar!
        As for (sub)species, the new taxonomy update has a added quite a few things for Peru. I'll see what I can scrounge up! Posted 2 years ago

        I'll just post 20 versions of Dark-eyed Juncos!
        
        Neotropical Birding has an upcoming article on Amazon subspecies. That should an interesting piece. Posted 2 years ago

    Yes it took us quite a while to bring him out, but he eventually showed quite well! Posted 2 years ago
