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 Plumbeous Kite, Ictinia plumbea, while we were on our way back to the Aquamarina for a morning break. The bird's banded tail, rufous bases to its primaries, and dark head and upperparts are visible in this shot. Temperatures were in the low 80's on this humid morning with overcast skies.
