Hoatzin

Most of the birds we saw in the Amazon were Hoatzin

image

They hang out in big groups

image

All looking in different directions

image

It was hard to get one looking at the camera

image

Most of the time they were mostly hidden

image

Or some would be facing the camera and others not

image

Or they’d be flapping around

image

They run away when there is danger

image

And their babies flop down into the water

image

And then swim to a tree and climb up with their dinosaur claws. We didn’t see any babies though.
