WHATSA HOATZIN?

Click to read how even though you can see bird in the real world, he refuses to co-operate with efforts to classify and categorize and nail down genetic relations… “What family tree?” say he.
My crude pics were taken twelve years ago with my first, cheap digital camera. Now look below…

Here’s a real photo of hoatzin from real photographer, Albert Ryckman (taken in Peruvian Amazon lowlands).

And then try to believe this:

Long-billed Woodcreeper. Over a foot long, found in lowlands east of the Andes. This one was at Sani Lodge, where I also got my hoatzin pics, along the Rio Napo.
