Crested Caracara: Las Cruces Biological Research Station, San Vito, Costa Rica — Just a pair of Crested Caracaras…same as you can see in south Texas, Arizona, or central Florida. Oh hum. But these were the first Crested we saw in a week and a half in Costa Rica…lots of Yellow-headed, which is a real treat for we North Americanos, but no Crested until we got to the Wilson Botanical Gardens at Las Cruces. These were wee and far, it a tree across the whole width of the garden, but with a little help from the machine learning maximum resolution algorithm in Pixomator Photo, the Sony at 600mm was able to bring them in. I have to say, I think these might have been my first perched Crested Caracaras anywhere. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixomator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 200 @ f4 @ 1/500th. Plus 1.3 EV for the backlight.
