TINAMOUS   -   TINAMIDAE

Solitary Tinamou Tinamus solitarius Parque Estadual Intervales, São Paulo state, Brazil. This has got to be one of the hardest families to photograph; this is the only species I've managed to get a decent photo of. It was walking around in the open in the middle of a dirt road going through some nice Atlantic Rainforest.

Great Tinamou Tinamus major (ssp. uncertain) Soberania NP, Panama province, Panama.
