Hey! You stole those from my future Colorado trip! 

Seriously though, I do want to get some good photos of those two while I’m there.

It almost looks like a background printed on canvas or something and a taxidermy Turkey Vulture hung in front of it! ?

It's between a 3 and 4 for me.  The colors are a bit desaturated, it is lacking crisp details, and the composition/angle is average.  Better detail and color would make it clear-cut 4 stars.

Thanks, what do you mean by desaturated? They aren’t usually that colorful.

While to someone not that familiar with neotropic birds, this would be considered a pretty meh photo, this might be the photo this trip I'm the most proud of. This is a Thicket Antpitta, a bird that is very rarely seen, usually only heard. When you see it it's usually only a quick glimpse deep in a thicket, but I managed to get a photo showing the whole bird.

Great shot of a cool bird!

Amazing bird, and photo! If you look on eBird there’s literally no good shots of this species.  No neotropic experience here, but I’ve heard of their secretive reputation. Super well done.

Some redstarts from a month ago. Almost Costa Rica level darkness, hard to use low shutter speeds with warblers though.
