Esta mañana en el Parque Natural Cueva de los Guacharos, mientras me hallaba pajareando con dos compañeros Alemanes y.....Daira Ximena Villagran Chávarro, tuvimos la grata fortuna de observar y deleitarme con la presencia del endémico gorrión montés oliváceo o saltón de cabeza oscura (Atlapetes fuscoolivaceus). Sus llamados, delataron su presencia, hice un poco de puiss, puisss (Playback-casero), el ave se acercó y logre sacarle esta foto y un gran video!...UN LIFER para mi, que felicidad más grande! That morning near the Guacharos National Park I trekked down a muddy trail into the cloud forest and I waited patiently to hopefully hear the birds call . Before long, to my delight, I heard what I believed to be an Dusky-headed Brush Finch - Atlapetes fuscoolivaceus calling in the distance. I began to use the birds call to try to lure him in towards me. I'm sure you can all imagine the adrenaline and excitement that I was feeling when I realized that it was working and the bird was coming closer. I stood motionless. And then...I saw a flash of movement in front of me and there he was not even 10 feet away on an open branch staring right at me -- The endemic- Dusky-headed Brush Finch! As I walked back up the house after photographing also I did video this incredible bird I could hardly believe what had just happened. I think that there are moments in our lives as birdwatchers that I think we will never forget. For me this was most definitely one of them. Elevation: 960 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
