Rufous-bellied Seedsnipe (Ecuador)

[Glenn Bartley]

These guys live high up in the Andes above the tree line. Despite their beautiful plumage they can be difficult to find! We got lucky with my first group in Ecuador and had a pair feeding right in front of us. It was fantastic!

Hmm...I can see how they can "disappear" in some surroundings easily. Great capture !
