There isn't much that can compete with a closer encounter of a Pitta. The Blue Pitta is fairly common but never ever easy to see as many can testify to. This particular individual called right next to the road and responded well to my playback from the car. The bird even hopped across the dirt road a few times and circled the car. This is the male.
