Not singing in the rain. Emerald Toucanet

Northern Emerald Toucanet: Mirador y Soda Chinchona, Costa Rica — The last few years the Northern Emerald Toucanet has be a regular visitor to the feeders at Mirador y Soda Chinchona, and by now I would be disappointed not to see it when we visit. It held off this year until way late…as we were losing the light on an already dark day, during a another heavy downfall of rain. I can not say that it looks particularly happy, even with its favorite flute at hand. No singing in the rain at any rate. This is another extreme low light shot using multi-frame noise reduction. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode as above. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. Equivalent ISO 6400 @ f4 @ 1/160th. This is pretty much a full frame shot. I was that close.
