The biggest from the Aramides.

Today I went out trying to find this species, so that I could improve my previous photo. I liked the result.

Excellent shot and frame. I am not sure, but if these rails are as secretive as our rails, then having it out in in the open like this is already a huge achievement ! Techs are spot on as well ! Congrats, Hans

Hi Hans,
I went twice to the same place, and I could see this rail in the open the two times. Usually one can not find it in open area, but looks like in that region it's kind of easy.

I'll go there again, to try some new shots in the open, but with the bird on the grass. If I succeed, I'll post some shot here.

Great, he looks like a real dancer! Or one of those speed ice skating guys :smile: . And a wonderful species to capture in the open!
