A chicken-like bird walks through dead leaves in front of vegetation with large oval green leaves. The bird has bubblegum-pink legs, black tail and thighs, a rusty-brown body and nape, greenish-brown wings, a grey neck and throat, bright red eyes, and a long pointy bill that is bright yellow turning to a yellow-green toward the tip.

A pair of Brown-cheeked Hornbills sitting on a tree branch in bright sunshine against a deep blue sky. The male has a large yellow, down-curving beak topped by a casque, a hollow structure attached to the upper mandible. The head, upper parts and underparts are black apart from the reddish-brown cheeks, and the white rump, belly and tail. The female is smaller but otherwise similar to the male apart from having a black beak and casque. These birds are vital for the spread of large forest seeds that smaller birds cannot. They also also catch insects and nest high in mature trees, over 20 meters above the forest floor. Widespread logging, for timber and agriculture, has deprived these bird of the habitat they need to for fruit and nesting locations. Scientific name: Bycanistes cylindricus Conservation status: Vulnerable
A pair of Brown-cheeked Hornbills.
Are they not beautiful? I keep comparing them with ancient Egyptian murals of the Pharaohs 😊
This was the only time across our entire trip that we saw them.

A crow-sized woodpecker clings to a grey tree trunk. The bird's belly is tan with wavy black crossbands; its wings and tail are blackish with a bit of brown; its head is bright red with a bit of a crest, black skin around the bright yellow eyes, and its bill is pale grey, as the name suggests.

A rather soggy medium-sized owl looks toward the camera, perched on a thick horizontal branch covered in lichens and moss. It has dark eyes, pale-grey bill and legs, and has a light-rufous brown belly and breast and a darker medium-brown on the wings and top of the head.
Superb owl: a rather damp Colombian Screech-owl (Megascops ingens colombianus), Sachatamia Lodge, Pichincha, EC, October 2025. These are a rare enough sighting that our guide was high-fiving all of us. 🌿🪶 #birds
