  1. A bit of an improvement on my 2021 picture, since the feeders at the Owlet Lodge are once again being maintained :)
    I like this shot, as it really illustrates why antpittas are nicknamed "eggs on legs"!

The chestnut antpitta is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to Peru. In 2020, two new species previously believed to be populations of chestnut pitta were described: the Oxapampa antpitta and the Ayacucho antpitta; this has left the chestnut antpitta with a much reduced range.
