Referencing my previous posts, we had seen Cock-of-the-Rock birds one time before – in a collection drawer at the Field Museum in Chicago.

That’s OK, considering it was part of a series about these birds.
Thanks, Mike. I believe the birds in the museum collection were collected in Peru, which likely makes them Andean Cock-of-the-Rocks… But still, I thought an interesting comparison to what we saw alive in the jungle.
