What you missed from Peru

On my Birding the Manu Road adventure with Amazon Journeys and Pepe Rojas, we had very limited wifi, and I only posted a few images to Facebook. So here is a recap of what you missed.

Long-tailed Sylph, Wayqecha Lodge, Peru. One of my target birds for sure!
Masked (Mountain) Trogon, downslope from Wayqecha Lodge, on the Manu Road in Peru.
Andean Cock-of-the-Rock, Cock-of-the-Rock Lodge on the Manu Road, Peru
Hooded Mountain Tanager, perhaps my favorite Tanager, from along the Manu Road at Cloud Forest elevation.
We worked hard to find the Hoatzin, an ancient and unique species, in an oxbow off the Amazon in Northern Peru. They were yard birds at Villa Carmin Biological Station at foothill level on the Manu Road in southern Peru.
Barred Fruiteater, the largest of the Fruiteaters, along the Manu Road at Cloud Forest elevation.
Sapphire-spangled Emerald on the grounds of Villa Carmin Biological Station on the Manu Road in southern Peru.
Blue and Yellow Macaw, resident on the grounds of Villa Carmin Biological Station on the Manu Road.
Bearded Mountaineer Hummingbird, from dry western slopes of the Andes on my first day, still on the way to Manu Road.
Mass of butterflies where a sugary drink was spilled on the Manu Road. I only recognize the Blue Doctor (or equivalent).
And finally, just to prove I did it, a selfie at Machu Picchu.
