Great Tinamou Chick from Bladen Nature Reserve

The Great Tinamou is often detected by its haunting whistle but rarely seen in the forest.  Mark McReynolds, who is studying Scarlet Macaws in Belize, came across this Great Tinamou chick in Bladen Nature Reserve.  Its cryptic coloration matches well with the leaf litter. 

An interesting note on the breeding biology of tinamous - did you know that males incubate eggs and care for the chicks once they’ve hatched?
