Home from Ecuador - White-bellied Antpitta

[Glenn Bartley]

Hello everyone!

I just returned from my annual Ecuador workshops last night. What a great time we had down there. A month of hummingbirds, Toucans, Tanagers, Owls and so many more fantastic birds. At one of our stops on the east slope the lodge was feeding this White-bellied Antpitta. After watching its behaviour on one morning I decided to try a set up shot the next time around. I was quite pleased with the result

A beautiful shot, Glen! I love the setting and the soft background. That's a pretty powerful looking beak. Is called an Antpitta because it eats ants, or is it a seed eater?

Beautiful capture and awesome composition. Well done!
