And here's a third endemic named after Junín, though this one does range more widely in the high Andes of central and southern Peru. There is a fourth one, the Junín tapaculo, but it doesn't occur in the area where I was. I'll have to go back to look for it, and complete the quartet! Posted 5 years ago
