The vibrant and captivating cotinga birds take center stage in these stunning photographs. In the first image, an Andean cock-of-the-rock proudly displays its brilliant orange plumage as it perches on a tree during a lek in Manu. The males gather together to compete for the attention of females, showcasing their beauty and prowess. In another shot, two male Andean cock-of-the-rocks can be seen perched side by side on a tree at a lek. Their contrasting colors create a striking visual display against the lush green backdrop. These gatherings are crucial for mating purposes and serve as an opportunity for these magnificent birds to assert their dominance. Moving to the Guianan Shield, we witness courtship in action as a Guianan Cock-of-the-rock engages in an elaborate display to attract its mate. Its vibrant red feathers stand out against the surrounding vegetation, making it impossible to ignore this avian spectacle. Venturing into Sumaco National Park in Ecuador, we encounter an Andean cock-of-the-rock perched gracefully on a branch amidst the rainforest's rich biodiversity. This species is known for its unique appearance and is highly sought after by birdwatchers around the world. A fierce battle unfolds between two Guianan cock-of-the-rocks during yet another lek gathering in the Guianan Shield region. These clashes determine which male will have access to potential mates and ensure that only the strongest genes are passed down through generations. In mid-altitude montane rainforests, an Andean cock-of-the-rock stands tall at a lek site - his bright plumage shining like fire against nature's canvas. This habitat provides them with ample opportunities for courtship rituals and breeding success. Other members of this fascinating family include Purple-breasted cotingas and Guianan red cotingas - each possessing their own unique charm that adds diversity to our natural world.
