I'm a designer for ZT2 and have made several downloads. Me and some friends are also working on an expansion that will include many birds. Here's some pictures:
They'll be released at my site,
Environ. There's over a hundred downloads there already!
Jocotoco Antpitta.
One of the larger members of its family, this dove-sized species was only discovered in 1997 in a small area in Ecuador. It has also been confirmed in adjacent areas in Peru. It seems to be confined to humid Chusquea bamboo forests. Made by GLM.
Ruby-Throated Hummingbird and Black-Breasted Puffleg.
A rather odd couple, because the Rubythroat is one of the most well known of hummingbirds (It is a familiar visitor to backyards in the USA, and the only hummingbird to frequently breed east of the mississippi river) but the Puffleg is one of the rarest of hummingbirds, restricted to the northwestern slopes of the Pichincha volcano in Ecuador.
Meshed by me, rubythroat skinned by GLM, puffleg skinned by Nathan.

Sword-billed Hummingbird
Skinned and meshed by Austroraptor, original mesh by GLM.
The Sword-billed Hummingbird is a Monotypic species. It has the longest bill of any bird, being longer then it's body. Their bill is so long that they have to groom themselves with their feet.
King Eider.
A staggering bird with a big yellow 'disc' at the base of its bill, the King Eider is a species of marine waterfowl occuring mainly in the northern pacific. After the breeding season, they leave their high arctic breeding grounds and spend the winter mainly in the Bering Sea. Made by GLM.
