Here is another of the Antpittas that entrepreneurs in Colombia have established a symbiotic relationship with. The Antpittas get a reliable source of food with worms and grubs, they get their habitat protected and the locals get money from visiting birders. Everyone wins. This one was a good 20 minute hike into the forest so it felt a little more satisfying than the ones we saw on the sides of roads. Some of the Antpittas have a comical or friendly look to them, but this one was kind of angry looking. That being said it jumped up into my outstretched hand to take a worm so he wasn't as angry as he looks.
