Long-wattled Umbrellabird (Cephalopterus penduliger) "The Long-wattled Umbrellabird inhabits lowland forests and humid foothills of rugged mountains like the ones of Calima El Darién. Surveys indicate that deforestation and hunting may be taking a toll, leaving the species vulnerable." ~ María Paula Rubiano A. Audubon Magazine.

No. 4 Long-Wattled Umbrellabird Cephalopterus penduliger

Found in Columbian & Ecuadorian rainforest.

The male’s wattle may be retracted in or extended at will and can be roughly 80% its body length.

Filled with air sacs, the wattle is slowly inflated and used to power the male’s deep, fluting calls during leks.
