Lyre tailed Nightjar (Uropsalis lyra)

The male of this species has a tail three times the size of its body - making it a beautiful sight. Unfortunately, the plumage actually mingles with the forest environment, making it hard to see. They become active at dusk, when they can be seen near the hot springs in Aguas Calientes Much of the information contained on this page has been sourced from: Del Sante, Cassinelli Gino (2003) Birds of Machu Picchu ??? 86 Most common species, Metrocolour: Lima. Illustrations by Daniel Huaman Chang.
