Sooty-capped puffbird - closeup III, Uraba, Colombia

Endemic to western Colombia where it has a small range in which it is uncommon to see. Once found though, it's not a nervous bird. Like most puffbirds, it is quite stationary and does not flee easily.

Love this shot - the gorgeous bird, the angle, the light, colors, and the fabulous moss and lichens make it fantastic. Posted 7 years ago
