WOW! Thicket Antpitta in the open. I've only ever seen pieces of these guys in dense vegetation. Great shot!

A tough bird to get a clean shot of. Nicely done, Jeff.

Thanks Karl, I use to go and visit this guy once a month but it has been a while since the last time I visit it so it was good to say hello!

Thanks Rick, this is an "old friend" of mine, I use to visit him once a month but it was a bit longer this time so it was great to see he still want to come out to say "hello" and pose for the shot, this one was just 9 feet away!

Thanks Bill, fairly "easy" for me since this is an old fellow I use to visit once a month at least, great to see he still want to pose for me, so glad that you like it!
