Title: Blue Manakin (Brazil)
Post by: Glenn Bartley on December 09, 2013, 12:03:02 pm

Here's another one from the Atlantic rainforests of Brazil. These guys are pretty common throughout the region but are definitely not the easiest birds to photograph. Getting a good clean shot in the under story is always a challenge!

This one stands out for its background. Active but not distracting.
Oh -- good bird, too!
