Andean cock-of-the-rock painted with water color. With its mesmerizing gaze and beak hidden beneath that huge forward crest, it’s truly unforgettable 😳🧡
Close up on the painting and picture of the sighting I got during my traval. I was lucky enough to see the Andean Cock-of-the-rock (Rupicola peruvianus) during my trip to Peru earlier this year — such a mythical sighting! ✨
Do you know this bird? 🧐
It’s an iconic species of the South American rainforests 🌿🇵🇪
