Rain Dance
Chestnut-breasted coronet (Boissonneaua matthewsii) - Tapichalaca Reserve, Ecuador
Most of us have probably heard that sometimes the worst weather makes for the best photos. I tend to agree however I rarely get to take advantage of this fact as I don't want to destroy my gear in a rainstorm or other inclement weather. However, once in a while I am able to take advantage of the dramatic weather conditions, here I was able to shoot from a sheltered location that kept me dry.
This chestnut-breasted coronet (Boissonneaua matthewsii) wasn't so lucky and had to stay out in the rain, however living high up in the wet cloud forests in the Andes it must be used to it. This is a high elevation species only found high up in the Andes mountains where it inhabits humid montane cloudforests.
