Field Notes

Description:

These birds were relatively abundant in the area, usually in paths of the forest were they could be seen foraging. They move their legs alike the chicken to place leaves and branches aside and uncover whatever they are looking for in the ground (insects, I guess).

Habitat:

Forested area P. Quetzal.
