Crested Guan (Penelope purpurascens) by Frank Buck, copyright 2011
The guan, or quam as it is called in Belize, is another of the un-shy game birds Frank Buck photographed during his December stay at Chan Chich Lodge. And it is true that this big chicken-like bird is scarce to exterminated in many areas of its range. Not so at Chan Chich Lodge, thanks to the good protection of the Gallon Jug Estate.
If you'd like to see a Crested Guan, look up ... and listen. The quam is a noisy bird that likes tree tops in forested areas. It often creates quite a disturbance, which, at Chan Chich anyway, makes it fairly easy to find.

ReplyDeleteThanks Deedee! Gosh, I've replied already to your comment and somehow, it simply doesn't appear. Even though it looks and says "ok." Well, I'll repeat again how nice it was to spend time with you and all the "Stiles & Lillian group" members a week ago. Til next year!
