I'm STILL working through images from a July trip to the Manu region of Peru. We spent one night at the Amazonia Lodge, and other than some rain showers and bad light, the birding gods were with us. This was our first stop on the Madre de Dios River, before heading to the Manu Wildlife Center.
Here are a few highlights from the day.
All taken handheld with 1DX + 500II.
Thanks for stopping by!

What a unique set of birds. Love the hummers (don't we all) and that tanager. A place I'd like to visit; this just confirms that desire.
Don
That's how I feel about your Brazil posts, Don. This forum offers lots of inspiration.

These are beautiful, Jim. You had the right camera body for those conditions. 5 for me with all the parallel lines.

Oh wow! The coquette, the jewelfront, and the hoatzins are my favorites, but that potoo that looks like part of the branch is certainly amazing.
