Horned Guan

Description:

The Horned Guan is the crème de la crème of the cracid family, and besides being endangered (population estimated at under 2,500), it’s habitat choice of cloudforests on the steep slopes of a few volcanoes and mountains in southern Mexico and south-western Guatemala makes it a tough bird to seek. I was thrilled to find this co-operative bird gorging on berries during a hike up the San Pedro volcano in Guatemala.
