It seems woodpeckers et al feel really relaxed around you :) Posted 7 years ago

Amazing - I love the Woodcreeper family (although they can be really hard to identify) and this is one of the best photos that I have seen anywhere - congrats! Posted 7 years ago

Thanks for the kind words! It was interesting actually. There were 5 species of woodcreepers in that forest. Two were really rare, and I only saw them a couple of times. Two were rather uncommon, and I ran into them a few times a month. All four of these were also quite skittish. And then these guys were all over the place, and very, very unafraid of people, hence the nice photos :) Posted 7 years ago
