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!

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.

More stunning photos. You capture these birds so well, I can only imagine the patience to capture the perfect shot. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful images.
Beautiful photos. If you ever get the chance to go to the tropics, do it. You will be blown away by the amount of natural things you never knew existed.
Beautiful birds beautifully presented. Thanks for showing these to us.
So beautiful! I’m so happy every time you post your pictures here! Thank you for these.
These are amazing. I kept scrolling through because it was exciting to see what was next, but now I will go back and gaze at my favorites.
Beautiful! Ps: 'Trainbearer'? I wonder what went through the heads of people naming some birds and animals.
Beautiful birds, thank you for photographing them and for sharing.
These are exquisite and astonishing! What treasures you have made visible to many of us. Thank you!
Just so beautiful. Reminds me of 'We enjoy many colors and diversity in animals, birds, flowers...but not in humans.'
Mr. Sahoo, hearty compliments to you for sharing these natural beauties in their element. The quality of photography exhibited by these upclose images is simply spectacular. Once again, hats off to you. As a bird enthusiast myself may I share with you one of my fave beauties endemic to Central America, the long-tailed manakin... their amazingly elaborate courtship dance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1zOmOfsy2Q
Those countries where someone keeps producing state coups and heists? Their fauna now used to save the robber who waits for the first opportunity to strike again?
