Geoff's Gallery:   Magnificent Riflebird (1/2)

PASSERIFORMES: Paradisaeidae

Ptiloris magnificus  

We searched high and low for the Magnificent Riflebird. Klaus Uhlenhut eventually found one displaying on a log.

We had great views through a scope, but photos were all but impossible due to low light and heavy foliage. The iridescent bib can be seen in this photo.
