Black-billed Nightingale-Thrush I don’t like to take pictures of birds on man-made objects, but I couldn’t resist this adorable little bird perched nicely on this railing.
Barred Owl. Went for hike around sunset and as I was walking, I heard the Owl calling. It’s the 1st time I’ve ever heard a Barred Owl call in person. I got excited because I figured it was active, since it was close to sunset. I couldn’t locate it immediately, but I kept hearing it. Then I saw movement! It flew to several trees, where it was covered so I wasn’t able to get a clear shot. Literally I was able to get these shots, 12 minutes before complete sunset. It flew on a clear branch, but I still had to shoot through a small opening behind some branches from where I stood, because I didn’t want to move too much and make it fly elsewhere. This is my best photo of a Barred Owl so far. Definitely happy with this one!
Lesser Yellow-headed Vulture I was actually focused on the Jabirus when @alberto_guide_cr yelled out, “Mike! Get that Vulture! You don’t have that one!” I honestly wouldn’t have paid it any attention because I was too focused on the other birds!
Great Potoo This bird and the Brown Creeper has some of the best camouflage I’ve ever seen! I zoomed in on the last pic.
