Hiding in plain site. You could hear them everywhere. but if you didn”t see them fly in, they were hard to spot. They look like all the foliage. Zoom in and see the second from the left’s expression…it cracks me up.

Amazon–Toucans
To get this shot we climbed up a 150ft tower to be at or above the forest top. That’s where all the cool birds hang out.
AMAZON-Hoatzin
This strange bird only occurs in the Amazon jungle and has no close relatives. Indeed, its heritage is a constant subject of debate among ornithologists.
It has big broad shoulders/ big wings yet can barely fly–just fly jumping from tree to tree. It’s nicknamed the stinky turkey because of it really bad odor caused from decaying food.
Adaptors of the Galapagos
The Flightless Cormorant only found in the Galapagos. Uses its wings to swim thru the water to catch fish.
The Galapagos Penguin–the most northern found penguin in the world.
When I came up for air next to this wall, I found two Blue Footed Boobies clinging to the edge.
Hanging in there
This Kingfisher had quite the grip on this lil branch to stay in the windstorm.
Aren’t his lil feet cute?
