March 26, 2023 - Bicolored Antpitta (Grallaria rufocinerea) These antpittas are found in dense high-altitude cloud forests along the Andes in Colombia and extreme northeastern Ecuador. They probably feed on insects, though little is known about the specifics of their diet. Their breeding behavior is unknown.

Bicolored Antpitta by Nick Athanas Via Flickr: Grallaria rufocinerea rufocinerea Rio Blanco Nature Reserve, Caldas, Colombia. This antpitta is almost endemic to Colombia, and just barely reaches northeastern Ecuador. This photo was taken at a worm feeder behind the lodge. The bird does not come in every day, and counting the two visits I had done by that time, this was my fourth try. There was almost no light to work with, so I had to shoot at very high ISO. 2080
