Observation details
Incredible experience. We woke up early to walk down a steep slick mud trail in the dark to be on site at the lek first thing. We were waiting quietly when a male flew in with a roar and landed on an exposed branch. He hung out by himself for a while occasionally bending over with a loud squawk followed by a bill snap and then was joined by other males. Would bend over and raise wings a little bit in display. Shockingly orange plumage glowing in the understory. Black wings with pale silver paneling on the tertial area. Crazy orange slice head crest. Much better views than in Ecuador. We hung out for a bit as more males joined and then left them to it. No females.
