Saltarín Cola de Lanza [Lance-tailed Manakin] (Chiroxiphia lanceolata) (♂)

Lugar: Fila Ochoa. Para atraer a este pajarito es suficiente con imitar sus sonidos ya que como regla viene a investigar. Pero hay que fotografiarlo rápido porque, como su nombre lo indica, dura muy poco tiempo perchado, saltando de inmediato a otra rama. Place: Ochoa Hills. To attract this little bird it is sufficient to mimic its sounds since, as a rule, it comes to investigate.
