Female Andean Cock-of-the-rock (Rupicola peruvianus) One of the iconic birds of the Andes. Fairly large, significantly larger and chunkier than a thrush. Found in cloud forest at middle elevations, most often at a dawn display site where males make pig-like squeals and jump and dance for females. Sometimes seen elsewhere in the forest, especially at fruiting trees. Males can be either brilliant crimson or orange, always with black wings and broad silver tertials, orange legs, and puffy rounded crest. Female duller brown with smaller crest; note staring pale eye. Nests on large rocks or cliff faces. Only similar species is Guianan Cock-of-the-rock, but no range overlap.

Zoom shot across Lake Nahuel Huapi of Bariloche with the spine of the Andes beyond. Crazy peaks standing head and shoulders above the bulk of the mountains. These are nunatak, which were left above the level of the glacial ice sheet surface.
My son promised me to take some pictures for me during the Dakar Race in South America... this is the third. Amazing views. SO NOT MY WORK!
Still no Nazca lines, but again beautiful shapes and colors in the Andes. South America is gorgeous from the ISS
Les géoglyphes de Nazca continuent de m’échapper mais c’est toujours un régal de passer au-dessus des Andes et de ces magnifiques couleurs

This picture makes me want to travel through the Andes again! (Bolivia, Atacama here)
Eines Tages mächte ich nochmal durch die Anden reisen. Hier die Atacamawüste.

Survol des Andes : pour le plaisir des yeux, voici perchés dans les montagnes un immense lac de sel et des marais salant avec toutes les teintes de vert dans leur quadrillage - on dirait du Mondrian ! Les couleurs sont carrément irréelles. J’adore zoomer sur les marais salants avec différents grossissements pour se rendre compte de l’immense surface qu’ils représentent. La seule œuvre d’art qu’on ne peut apprécier vraiment que depuis l’espace ?
A voyage through the amazing Andes with its salt lakes that resemble a Mondriaan painting! I took pictures at multiple zoom levels to show them in different forms, like seeing a painting in a museum from afar and walking closer :) #EarthArt
