Costa Rica! Denisons of the night 2

Barn Owl: Caño Negro, Costa Rica, December 2024 — As we continued our Owl Prowl along the Caño Negro we came upon this Barn Owl nesting in an old palm near an industrial building of some kind. Again these shots are in the light of a hand-held flashlight/torch. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds and wildlife modifications. ISO 25600. Processed in Photomator (including noise reduction).

Costa Rica! Denisons of the night

Great Potoo: Caño Negro, Costa Rica, December 2024. We took an Owl Prowl the night we stayed at the Kingfisher Lodge on Caño Negro. Though we got off to a slow start…no owls calling at their regular spots, we found this Great Potoo hunting flying insects under the light at the end of a narrow bridge. Though it looks and acts like a huge nightjar, it actually is part of its own, Potoo family. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600 and 402mm equivalents. By the light of a hand-held torch (flashlight). Program with my birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
