We spent the morning of Sunday, January 15, 2012, birding along a small tributary (Tapara Creek) of the Amazon below the main confluence of the Ucayali-Marañón Rivers. Brad photographed a pair of Black-capped Donacobius, Donacobius atricapilla, that were perched together after completing a marvelously loud duet (it attracted our attention). A yellow iris is prominent on the bird's black head. This species is very vocal and can be seen flaring their tails and exposing the orange skin on the sides of their necks during display. Temperatures were in the upper 70's on this humid morning with overcast skies.
