Orange-eared Tanager (Peru)

[Glenn Bartley]

I've been gallivanting around in the jungles of Peru for the past month. What a great place to spend some time! So much diversity! Some of the lodges that I took my groups to have over 500 species on the list of birds seen. Just incredible!

Of all the birds we spotted one of my very favourites is this Orange-eared Tanager. I was really hoping to get an image like this of then feeding at a natural fruiting bush. For my money I'll take a shot like this over a full blown setup any day of the week :-)

Glad to be home!

So much personality in that bird.  Up to your usual, unsurpassed, standard.
