This bizarre and cumbersome-looking relative of the snipes is fairly common but rarely seen; active mainly at dusk and dawn. Favors damp leafy ground in forest and woodland, but comes out at night to feed in damp pastures. When flushed, flies off quickly and usually silently from close range, a little like a small grouse. Note fat body and long bill; plumage less boldly striped than smaller and slimmer snipes. At dusk in spring, males do flight patrols of their territory and can be seen as silhouettes against the evening sky, giving a distinctive but odd-sounding call.

Ideas and Insight From the National Geographic Society
Lurking in the marshes of the extreme southeastern U.S. lives one of the most vividly colored birds in all of North America. Purple Gallinules combine cherry red, sky blue, moss green, aquamarine, indigo, violet, and school-bus yellow, a color palette that blends surprisingly well with tropical and subtropical wetlands. Watch for these long-legged, long-toed birds stepping gingerly across water lilies and other floating vegetation as they hunt frogs and invertebrates or pick at tubers.

Further moves by an adult male Victoria's Riflebird, Ptiloris Victoriae, in Australia's tropics, of a rarely seen courtship display to attract a female to him. This Riflebird, known as Duwuduwu to local Aboriginal people, and one of the birds of paradise, is the smallest of the Riflebirds. It's normal breeding season is September to February. I took a break at the Chambers Wildlife Rainforest Lodges in April hoping to actually see one of these birds - never thinking I'd see this amazing courtship display so far outside its normal breeding time. The adult male was distracted at times by another adult male circling his territory - so he really had a busy time of it. Once the female came onto his display pole, his actions became much more dramatic, alternating waving his arched wings above her and eventually closing his wings around her.

Why birds? Birdwatching is a specialized hobby. The birdwatchers aim to see hundreds of birds during a holiday in Peru. However, there are certain birds that transcend to more normal tourists. Some birds that you don’t have to be a
