    This small guan is a cloud forest specialty of southern Ecuador and far northern Peru. Much more easily seen north of the border, we only saw this one individual on a multi-day expedition to the highlands of Cajamarca, where many Andean species reach the southern end of their distribution, as they don't cross the dry Marañon Valley.
