I am back! I hope you all are enjoying my wildlife pictures from Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Brazil Atlantic forests.
Peru is a country well-known for Machu Picchu and, trust me, it is every bit as amazing as they say it is! The scale, the grandeur, and the architecture are marvelous experience to see. But since you all know me, you won't be surprised when I tell you that that was my last day plan! My entire Peru tour was full of what I love to do―photographing birds.
Peru is where photographers and bird watchers aspire to go. It is, after all, a country with the most diverse bird species and scenic views that have worldwide photographers stunned. It is a must-visit on every bird photographer's bucket list. Peru is a birder’s paradise with the most beautiful avian treasury in the world.
Peru is home to 20% of the world's total bird species, along with the highest number of endemics in the world! And the count increases every day. It is abundant with so many beautiful destinations, and apart from the well-known heritage site Machu Picchu, I had to show you the birds the country boasts of!
All photos were taken with my trusted Canon 1D X Mark II and 600 mm.
Enjoy and let me know what you think! You can email me at info@supreetsahoo.com for any questions.
Cheers, and stay safe!

So cool! What a great shot of this marvelous bird. It's the subject of a woven bird ornament made by some incredible native artisans in the northern Peruvian Amazon. marvelous-...352b67.jpg

The tail feathers would look gorgeous as a bow on a peacock coloured dress

In the Hunger Games book there's a murderous flock of little pink birds with sword-like bills that kill at least two people. I laughed when I first read it. I take it back now. Apologies to the author.

They do very little zipping actually, the tail is all for showing off to a mate and not at all practical for flight. In fact, these guys can barely stay aloft long enough to feed and they tire very quickly...but they get da ladies!!!

Their predators don't have the same receptors in their eyes that humans do. They look different to them.

Is the nest made out of seaweed? I've never thought about what seabirds make their nests out of, but I guess that makes sense. Interesting!

Giant Hummingbird

I just looked it up because I was curious and giant hummingbirds have an approximate wingspan of 21.5 cm (8.5 in), and length of 23 cm (9.1 in). So still not that big, maybe like the size of your hand-ish, but really big for a hummingbird! I'm thinking it was easier to get the picture with the wings spread and tail flared without blurring because since she's larger she can't beat her wings as fast.

Yes, I always think of how many 'other' shots there would be before the ideal one. So much work.

Train can mean a fabric extension. A long train trails behind a wedding dress. Perhaps they were named for carrying a long tail behind them.
