From the GreenTracks Amazon Herping Tour 10/06 - 10/13, 2018
from Dante Fenolio
Notes from the Amazon No.254: The Blue-crowned Manakin (Lepidothrix coronata) is widespread throughout the Amazon Basin with a disjunct population in Panama and northwestern South America. Not surprisingly, there are geographic differences within this species so it may be a complex. Like many manakins, the males are colorful while the females tend to be unicolored, in this case an attractive shade of green. Manakins are denizens of the understory in rainforest and many species have notable lek displays that include mechanical sound production. These birds were photographed on night hikes through primary rainforest in Loreto, Peru - October 2018. After the birds have settled in for the night, they can be photographed with relative ease.
