Lanceolated monklet - closeup, Tatama National Park, Colombia I love this bird for its beautiful earth tones, but even more so for its behavior. Instead of fleeing like most birds, it poses as if to ensure we gets its good side.

    Another very cool bird. I was just wondering, do you know how many species of birds you have seen/photographed? Posted 7 years ago

      That's an interesting question! My total number of species photographed that are identified is currently 1,733, but I'm not sure how many of them are birds without going through that large list :) Based on 10 years of travel and at least a few dozen per trip, It's several hundreds.
