A photograph of a dark, heavily overgrown corner of green forest where a small round brown bird with long legs stands on a horizontal branch with both wings lifted in what appears to be a gesture of aggression. This is the Muisca Antpitta of El Zoque, Colombia, and this is a somewhat misleading snapshot, since the birb is actually just hopping down with open wings to approach a nearby feeder -- no genuine aggression involved since birb was alone. But the posture tickled my funnybone because it makes the bird look so assertive. Nov 2025. Photo by Peachfront.
