Sex, Age, Comment | Adults. Endemic. Groups of about 20 individuals are not uncommon. But they are rather sensitive, and do not accept photos just like that. The picture was taken at 30 meters distance, and by only the slightest movement they immediately seeked cover. Came out again though, but finally flew off permanently when I had to wave off an approaching Mexican. | ||||||||||||
