Two gallinetas at the edge of lago 2

That afternoon, Carlos Andrés Matas Contreras was walking along the shores of lago 2 at the finca El Paraíso when he noticed movement in the damp grass at the water's edge. Not one, but two gallinetas moving slowly, with that unhurried calm so characteristic of them, pecking at the ground in search of something to eat. The lake still, the afternoon light golden on the water, and those two birds as though the whole world were nothing but that one quiet corner. Carlos Andrés had the good eye to pull out his phone and record. The video shows exactly what he saw: the measured, almost ceremonial movement of the gallinetas as they searched the earth. A simple piece of footage, the kind made without much fuss, yet one that speaks clearly — that wildlife continues on its own terms, in the pastures of El Paraíso.
