    Pittas are hard enough to see, let alone photograph - great shot! Posted 2 months ago

      Thanks! This one was mostly a matter of waiting and it did stick around for some good poses. It was honestly less stressful than antpittas whom in my experience appear only so briefly. Posted 2 months ago
