In the montane cloud forst we stopped at a curve of the road. José Luís knew that we had a possibility of seeing some rare birds there. We saw several species, but they were hard to photograph because of the dense vegetation. Suddenly we saw a Scarlet-bellied mountain tanager. I followed it for some time, but all the pictures failed. Then José Luís called it and all of a sudden it appeared in the open and I got a series of pictures. In this one you can see how it stretches it head to see what is going on.
