The queen of the forest, the powerful Harpy Eagle. Just a few days ago, we were lucky enough to spot this incredible bird at one of the top locations in Colombia. After only a one-kilometer walk, we enjoyed an impressive, eye-level view from just 40 meters away. This has been the most successful Harpy Eagle nest in Colombia's recent birding history.
This unforgettable experience was made possible thanks to the dedicated efforts of the team at Orinoco Nature Tours, Fundación Camaná, and the people of Vereda La Argentina in Mesetas, Meta.

The Yellow-eared Parrot is one of the most iconic and charismatic endemic birds of Colombia. They travel in large flocks sometimes over 200 hundred birds and if you are lucky enough you can find some of them perched and then they can be very confident. We got this one at Ventanas Road above Jardín Antioquia in the Western Andes of Colombia, just at the entrance of the Yellow-eared Parrot bird reserve of Proaves. This one, an many other endemics are possible in one of our Andean Specialities birding tours availables here: www.theandeanbirder.com Video by @Johnnier Arango.
