TRUMPETERS   -   PSOPHIIDAE

Dark-winged Trumpeter Psophia viridis viridis Cristalino Jungle Lodge, Mato Grosso state, Brazil. There are three species of trumpeter in the world, all in the Amazonian and Guianan regions. This species is the one found in the southeastern Amazon. They came into small pool in the forest to drink. They are tough to photograph in a natural setting due to the dark forest floor they inhabit and their shy nature. I handheld this at 1/25 second and 3200 ISO, so it's not particularly sharp, but came out reasonably well under the circumstances. (S6)
