Jardin, Colombia -Search for the Cock-of-the-Rock

[goddi]

Posted in the Slideshowclub site:

This show is about our road trip from Medellin to Jardin, Colombia, to see if we could find the Andean Cock-of-the-Rock. Though it is the national bird of Peru, you can find them in Colombia, if you know where to look. My good friend, who lives in Medellin and is an excellent birder, knew where to find them. So here is a look at the town of Jardin and the beautiful Cock-of-the-Rock.

There is also a few shots I took of an Olinguito, a newly discovered (in 2013) carnivore.

To get under the upload size limitation, I had to remove one video clip and reduce the quality of the other.  Critiques welcomed.

Come take a trip….Gary

Mur...Thanks. Yes, that bird is stunning. I found it is called the 'Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock'. Would love to see it in person!
