Long-wattled Umbrellabird Video

A one minute YouTube video clip of a male Long-wattled Umbrellabird at Buenaventura Reserve in SW Ecuador near dusk. The last 30 seconds show its remarkable courtship display call. It uses the long wattle to produce a low-pitched booming sound that resonates through the forest. Without doubt, the strangest bird i have seen in the Americas.
