  Glad you like it! I sure was very pleased to see it, my first Clibanornis, and a speciality of the Tumbesian eco-region!
  It had an unusual behavior for a furnariid, wherein it would respond to playback, silently creeping closer and then happily sitting motionless in a bush some 5 meters away, completely unbothered by the presence of us 2 photographers as we moved around, trying (and failing) to get a shot that wasn't obstructed by 50 branches, cursing copiously the whole time:)

    I think the minor obstructions give it a sense of depth and realness.
    That's what I usually tell myself, anyways. Posted 2 years ago
