Untamed Birds of Colombia Expedition
This is one of the smaller members of the Antpitta family. So much so that it was given the species name "nana' meaning dwarf. These little fluffballs are 10-11cm in size.
It has a patchy distribution from western Suriname to the northern border of Peru. Yet there aren't many places where you have a chance of seeing it.
So of course we are going to visit the place where the odds are good! This one was photographed near Manizales, Colombia.
We got several viewings of this individual as she hopped about the hillside undergrowth, occasionally coming into the open, taking a look around before retreating back into the protection of the dense vegetation.
Let's see if we are as lucky on our next trip to Colombia in June!
