We heard and even saw hundreds from a distance. Two club members had big lenses on their camera and I’m sure got much better photos. This is what I could do with my cheap 300 mm lens. Many have been cropped and enlarged to the point of almost seeing dots, but I’m still happy with these 13! 🙂

And the Blue-headed Parrots photos were even darker silhouettes than these, plus another 10 or so bird photos that are not very good and/or unidentified. It was an effort to photograph in mostly poor light of a dark rainforest with overcast or rainy skies while wading through mud. So with those conditions and my amateur camera, I’m happy to have gotten these photos! I’m easy to please! 🙂
They will eventually be added to my
Costa Rica Birds PHOTO GALLERY, so check it out sometime for a lot more bird photos collected over the last six and a half years in Costa Rica.
“Sweet bird! thy bow’r is ever green,
Thy sky is ever clear;
thou has’t no sorrow in thy song,
No winter in thy year.”
– John Logan
And yesterday’s post on
Bribri Insects has been updated with a correct identification on the unsure one and three more butterflies added!
