Among the possessions stolen from their hire car was a video camera with footage of the blue cotinga and other rare birds seen in Panama. |
Actually finding the cotinga would be a huge step toward establishing the use of computer models as viable tools for determining what areas should be protected. |
A plum-throated cotinga, like the one shown above in a lowland rain forest, is one species of over a thousand that make Peru a birder's paradise. |
The Osa also is home to the magnificent harpy eagle and the endemic yellow-billed cotinga. |
This cotinga is a solitary bird, and utters only a monotonous whistle, which sounds like quet. |
It embraces as sub-genera the cotinga proper, the Caterpillar-eaters, and the Chatterers. |
