In my last visit to Ecuador I was not expecting to find such specie being so tame and approachable! They can walk quite fast but tent to stop on a small hill like the one in the picture to look around and see if they have a prey near by.

I made this image at the Antisana Reserve and used this gear:

1D4+600f/4+1.4TC+hand held from car window+natural light.

Many thanks for looking.

Great shot Juan Carlos. Beautiful bird. Would consider horizontal crop, but not sure would be better
