But its nowhere as impressive as the actual display, due to the fact that we had to stay pretty far from the birds, else they wouldn't come. The last photo in the blog was the the best we could do with our 180mm lens. Yes, we do have video and photoes of it.

Sounds pretty extreme, not the kind of thing one sees every day. I was referring to this:

The macaws and cock-of-the-rock. Which one did you mean? For both we do have videos, but the macaw display was a bit far so I am not sure how it turned out. By the way, the cock-of-the-rock is the national bird of Peru. Oh and we are in Arequipa now. It reminds me of Oaxaca. Weather is better here and food good. Its a colonial city overlooked by two volcanoes, Chachani and Misti. The Colca canyon with its condors is close by. Definitely worth a visit. Hello Fred,

I hope you got some footage of that to show us. The birds display sounds pretty intense. I hope you got some footage of that to show us.
