Ortalis columbiana (Colombian Chacalaca / Guacharaca)
Endemic to Colombia, as its name would suggest, and the only chachalaca within its now relatively limited range in the central (Cauca and Magdalena) valleys of the country. It is found in both humid and deciduous forests, but the species’ range and population are both almost certainly declining, and it survives only in pockets.

A plain, chunky bird with a “big mouth.” Found in foothill rainforest of western Ecuador and western Colombia. It’s mostly olive-brown with pale eyes and a stout bill. Forages at middle levels of the forest and may join mixed-species flocks. Sings incessantly early in the morning, giving loud whistles intermixed with scratchy twitters and squeaks. It can open its beak surprisingly wide while singing, giving the impression that it’s shouting. (eBird)

I've been going through my photo archive, updating names based on the latest taxonomy. As part of that work, I've come across photos that I've never processed or posted (usually because they were too grainy, fuzzy, etc.). New editing tools, though, have meant that a few will now see the light of day, like this one. Taken in the early hours of the morning by a less than perfect camera, it finally comes to light after some heavy duty editing.
Note: I had originally ID'd this bird as a South American Leaftosser (which is very similar to this). When I posted it on eBird, the reviewer got back to me almost immediately with a correction. Oh well, still a lifer and still the one and only time I've seen this bird.

A very touristic place in Cartagena Colombia Island. Famous for its white sands and crystal clear water.
This image features the Green Ibis (Mesembrinibis cayennensis), captured in Restrepo, Meta, Colombia. Known for its iridescent green and purple feathers, the ibis stands out beautifully against the vibrant backdrop of the lush Colombian environment. The bird was perched delicately on a tree branch, where its sleek silhouette contrasted against the soft light filtering through the canopy. The calm, tranquil atmosphere of the scene was a perfect match for capturing the bird’s elegant form and reflective plumage.
In terms of technique, I used a Canon R5 with a 800mm f/11 lens and a 1.4x extender to maintain the required reach while preserving image clarity. The f/16 aperture ensured that both the bird and its environment were in focus, while the ISO 1600 helped balance the low light of the forest. The resulting sharpness and depth allow the vibrant plumage and the bird’s intricate textures to come through vividly. Capturing such a shot in the wild, with the ibis being perfectly positioned, required patience, but the payoff was worth it.

En este tiempo que yo esté lejos, no me olvides. No dejes que yo me muera en tu corazón y para tu vida. Cuando estés triste, cuando te sientas infeliz en tu vida, piensa en todo lo que tienes y nunca en lo que te falta; piensa en la cantidad de gente que te quiere, las abuelitas, los tíos, los primos y, sobre todo, tu mamá, Claudia, y yo que te amamos sin fronteras. Piensa en que la felicidad está al alcance de tus manos, alégrate de tu belleza y cultívala, y sobre todo, cuida tu inteligencia, cuida la belleza que está dentro de ti, la belleza que sólo tú puedes hacer crecer conociendo al mundo y a los hombres, leyendo apasionadamente y estudiando, que tus ojos brillen porque dentro de ti mantienes encendido y cálido el fuego. Sé sabia, amor mío. Ser sabio es conocer en cada época todo lo que ella nos depara, vivir apasionadamente cada camino y cada extravío, saber siempre que el saber es un árbol infinito donde siempre se escala, ser sabia, mi niñita, es saber gozar de las cosas pequeñas de la vida y saber estar siempre al lado de los ideales justos. Y sé buena, también, niña mía, que tu alma siempre esté vestida de fiesta para recibir al amor y para hacer brotar amor. Nadie se resiste a un alma que va de fiesta por la vida. La risa convoca la risa. El amor llama al amor. Odia, mi niña, la injusticia y a los injustos, odia el dolor que provocan unos hombres en otros, rebélate contra toda injusticia que veas cometer a tu lado. No importa si sufres un poco por ello, con el tiempo tu estatura se habrá agigantado y te regocijarás con el orgullo en tu propio valor personal, un orgullo sano, dulce y humano.

Thanks for viewing my photos.
Have a nice weekend.
San Agustín Archaeological Park is an archaeological site in San Agustín, Huila, Colombia. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. The site contains the largest collection of religious monuments and megalithic sculptures in Latin America and is considered the world's largest necropolis.
San Agustín is 520 km from Bogotá.
The park itself corresponds to a small area with a high concentration of graves.
The largest group of religious monuments and megalithic sculptures in South America stands in a wild, spectacular landscape. Gods and mythical animals are skilfully represented in styles ranging from abstract to realist. These works of art display the creativity and imagination of a northern Andean culture that flourished from the 1st to the 8th century.
