What an awesome bird to see from shore! Being a sea-sickness champion, I would have loved to have been there to watch this pigeon-looking tubenose with my feet firmly planted on the ground.
Ahhh Peru.

I travel frequently to El Chocó, in northwestern Colombia. How many undocumented species of birds, animals, insects, flowering plants, ferns, etc. might there be there? How many changes in range maps are necessary? Every day it’s less likely that we’ll ever know, as more and more of the forest is destroyed and the traditional populations are pushed away….and one of the main thrusts is planting oil palms for “green” biofuels….

Incredible news…it seems that in this era where one would believe that we’ve discovered everything, we keep finding new species and places.

Comment on The Blue-crowned Motmot complex could be split into five species by timmaz24s

i think the trinidad motmot have to e studied some more for two reasons:- 1. the name bahamensis needs to be change to trinitatis. 2. the trinidad motmot from trinidad & tobago live in different habitats & the birds from tobago appear to be a little darker in colour than the ones from trinidad.
