This latter category includes such elusive and soughtafter birds as the Blackcrowned Antpitta, the Zigzag Heron, the Rufousvented GroundCuckoo, the Barenecked Umbrellabird, and the monkeyeating Harpy Eagle. In the accompanying text, Bob Thornton engagingly describes the challenges as well as the magic of negotiating the neotropical rainforests in search of colorful birds to photograph.
