Orton's Guan

Penelope ortoni

Orton's Guan is a species of bird found in the humid forests of the Talamancan montane forests in Costa Rica and western Panama. This bird is known for its distinctive blue facial skin and red throat wattle. It is a medium-sized bird with a long tail and strong legs, often foraging on the forest floor for fruits, seeds, and invertebrates. Orton's Guan is an important seed disperser in its habitat, contributing to the diversity and regeneration of the forest. However, habitat loss and hunting pose significant threats to its population.
