About These Birds
Berlepsch's Tinamou
A small tinamou with rich brown plumage and fine black barring. One of the least-known tinamous, restricted to Pacific lowland forests of Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. Largely understudied; known mainly from a handful of specimens. Terrestrial and secretive.
Great Tinamou
The largest regularly occurring tinamou, with brownish-grey plumage, barred wings, and a pale belly. Common in lowland Neotropical rainforest from Mexico to Bolivia. Males incubate glossy teal-colored eggs. Their haunting multi-note calls resonate through the forest, making them acoustically conspicuous yet visually elusive.
