During our hike in the Amazon, we were thrilled to glimpse several rufous-vented ground-cuckoos darting through the undergrowth.

In the late afternoon, rufous-tailed scrub robins sang from the thorny bushes along the dry riverbed.

At dawn, the rufous-tailed rock thrush sang from a high ledge, its melody carrying across the valley.

During the migration season, rufous-tailed rock thrushes frequently stop at coastal cliffs to rest and feed.

While birdwatching at dawn, I spotted a rufous-tailed scrub robin perched on a thorny bush, its clear song ringing across the scrub.
