 Hoatzin
Amazon Lowlands, Ecuador
Canon 5DM3 | Canon 600mm f/4 L IS II | 1/640th | f/5.6 | ISO 500
Hi everyone,
I was so excited to spend time with this strange and unique species while leading nature photography workshops in Ecuador with Glenn Bartley earlier this year. Hoatzins are very common at the lodge we visit in the Amazon lowlands. Each morning and evening they could be seen clambering about the vegetation on the edges of lagoons during our paddling excursions. Did you know they use bacterial fermentation to break down the foliage that comprises nearly 100% of their diet, just like cows?!
I just posted a new blog entry highlighting a selection of the most beautiful and unique birds found in Ecuador, including several photos and facts.
