Blue Cotinga: Canopy Tower Lodge, Panama, July 2022 — There was a fairly heavy fog around the Canopy Tower yesterday morning when we climbed up top to see what was happening. I had actually gone down for breakfast when one of the lingerers came half way down the stairs to tell us there was “a very special bird.” And it was. The male Blue Cotinga. I am always surprised by how large Cotingas are. Eventually the bird came close enough for a shot even through the fog. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.
