We birded the area around our hotel, the Inkaterra Hotel Machu Picchu Pueblo (in Aguas Caliente), the morning of Tuesday, January 10, 2012. A juvenile male Andean Cock-of-the-rock, Rupicola peruvianus, perched near one of the walkways through the courtyard, was one of the species that we photographed. A medium-sized passerine in the Cotinga family, it is native to the Andean cloud forests and is the national bird of Peru. Adult males have brilliant orange plumage and a large disc-like crest. Temperatures were in the 70's on this overcast morning with intermittent rain.
