Chamaepetes goudotii goudotii (Sickle-winged guan / Pava maraquera)

 

The sickle-winged guan (Chamaepetes goudotii) is a species of bird in the chachalaca, guan, and curassow family Cracidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.

 

The subspecies of sickle-winged guan are distributed thus:

 

C. g. goudotii, western and central Andes of Colombia south to Nariño Department

C. g. sanctaemarthae, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta of northeastern Colombia

C. g. fagani, west slope of the Andes from Colombia's Nariño Department south to Ecuador's El Oro Province

C. g. tschudii, east slope of the Andes from southern Colombia through Ecuador to Peru's Department of San Martín

C. g. rufiventris, east slope of the Andes from central to southern Peru and isolated areas in north and central Bolivia.

 

The sickle-winged guan inhabits humid and wet forest, preferring tall forest but also found at edges and in secondary forest. The sickle-winged guan is generally a bird of middle elevations. In Colombia is mostly between 1,100 and 2,500 m (3,600 and 8,200 ft).

This Andean Guan gave excellent views in the valley near Aguas Calientes, the Peruvian town that is the base for visiting the famous Inca site of Machu Picchu. This species occurs in the Andes Mountains of South America from Venezuela south to Bolivia, typically at elevations above 1500 metres.

The bright blue facial skin of a Sickle-winged Guan stands out, certainly in comparison with its mainly dark plumage. This individual was seen near El Dorado Lodge in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, northern Colombia, South America. That renowned birding base above the town of Minca is operated by the environmental group ProAves.

I like how the red dewlap of this Band-tailed Guan is matched by the colour of the Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) growing wild at the El Dorado Lodge in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, northern Colombia, South America. This bird is also displaying a prominent crest.

From wiki: The guans are a number of bird genera which make up the largest group in the family Cracidae (with the chachalaca and curassow) . They are found mainly in northern South America, southern Central America, and a few adjacent Caribbean islands. There is also the peculiar horned guan (Oreophasis derbianus) which is not a true guan, but a very distinct and ancient cracid with no close living relatives. They are the size of a small turkey or a large chicken.

Cerro Jefe, Panamá. This bird, along with several companions, was an unexpected find that I first thought was a vulture due to its color and size. My guide was excited to see the bird in the area we were exploring. The guan populations are under pressure from hunting. Thanks for looking and any comments or feedback.

The Band-tailed Guan is normally an elusive species apart from nesting season, but they were readily seen in the area of El Dorado Lodge (where they get both food and protection). That excellent base for birdwatching is in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia, South America. These birds are usually seen up in trees as in this image.
