A few more birds

It's almost midnight, and tomorrow I am going back out of Cusco, this time to try and see some mid-elevation jungle. Choquequireao was unbelievable. here are a few birds, as a meek attempt to catch up:

Eared dove, Zenaida auriculata:


Wilson's phalarope, Phalaropus tricolor:

White-winged cinclodes, Cinclodes atacamensis:


Bright-rumped yellow-finch, Sicalis uropygialis:


Puna teal, Anas puna:


Speckled teal, Anas flavirostris oxyptera:


Otherwise, I've been lucky enough to see everything from weird hummngbirds to the Andean condor, passing through the Andean cock-of-the-rock and many more, and birds are only one percent of the cool things of the trip.
Happy New year!
