Observation details
It was late and getting dark when I herd something big flew over me, I turned over and saw perched on a fig tree, about 5 meters, a Great Curassow, I couldn't believe it, I have seen this specie before in the Rain Forest, but here, what a hell was doing here in the subtropical pine tree and oak forest, a mile away from home. The specimen I saw is dark lighter in the chest, that's way it suppose to be a female or and immature, and the area that I saw it still has about 20 hectares of pristine forest, probably they still live there threatened by the new developments.
