Date is approximate. 3 individuals (2 males & 1 female) seen sometime in April, 1987. My mother and father (@dmpeterson ) were living in Monteverde in the spring of 1987, staying with the Gavin family. I have been digitizing their old slides, and thought these ones were significant, so I uploaded them. The date and location are approximate, based on their best recollection.

Poor fledgling hiding in the bushes, tried to rescue, but it ran deeper where i can't reach. Will keep an eye out for it, left some seeds. Update: 5h later, no sign of the parents, found him in the bushes, animal rescue took him.

Observed and photographed the male courtship behavior that reminds me of the Vogelkop Lophorina, Superb Bird-of-Paradise in that it first puffs up and then flies directly over the female. Spectacular!!!

Meet Lil Human....he does everything standing up, except running,(so far!!). He has made a hole in the concrete between the step & stone walkway at the front door...close to the food & safe..Smart little cookie...(And cute....).
