My favorite was the Golden-crowned Tanager that appears to the right, but I also got an okay shot of Black-faced Dacnis. The outing wasn't a huge success, as we didn't see anything particularly rare, it rained all Saturday, the birds were quiet on Sunday. It was sad to see that the highway through the park was put in with total disregard to the environment, but this is not surprising given it's the third world. I also got a very rare recording of what may be the song of the Golden-crowned Tanager, which I've posted on xeno-canto. 5 January: Check out the new shots of the gorgeous Yellow-fronted Woodpecker, cute White-wedged Piculet, and a Green-barred Woodpecker at a nest. 3 January: Some finch shots today, some of them very nice. Probably the best shot is of a very common bird, but I really like the photo. Other especially nice ones include Black-and-rufous Warbling-Finch, Tucuman Mountain-Finch, Pale-throated Pampa-Finch, and Plumbeous Seedeater. 1 January: Happy new year from antpitta.com! I've been visiting family this past week and haven't done too much here. I've updated a few pages, added a few new photos including the 14th antpitta here, White-throated, and changed the featured photo. 23 December: I've added a few woodcreepers and warblers today. The best photo is of a Pale-legged Warbler. 21 December: It's tanager day on antpitta.com. I'm replacing some terrible photos with some nice ones like the Brassy-breasted Tanager to the right, and adding a few new species like Gilt-edged Tanager, Golden-chevroned Tanager, Yellow-backed Tanager, and Sayaca Tanager. I've also slipped in a few other photos at the same time, mainly of tyrant flycatchers.
