Beskrivelse: Yucatan endem. If not very common then at least very visible when present. Seen at two different temple sites in the area - and as here directly on the road to the Calakmul temple site. Dense wood on both sides of the road. This male in display attacked any slow running wehicle - and persons on the road like Western capercaillie does in May in Scandinavia - but this bird is HUGE and has spurs. And knows how to use them. It is no 'joke' - as it sometimes seem to be with the capercaillie. Here shot with the 'pocket-camera' by my wife Merete. Safe inside the car :-). A U-tube video of 'us' running around the car with the 'angry-bird' just behind us would have been a hit...
