Rosy Thrush-Tanager

Rosy Thrush-Tanager: Canopy Lodge, Panama, July 2022 — We (or at least my guide, Tino) worked hard for this bird. We visited three locations around Canopy Lodge, and heard them each place, before fining one that would come out for a photo. Tino has more patience that I have for this kind of thing, but the wait was worth it. 🙂 Conditions were not ideal. These were taken from under an umbrella in moderate rain. Still a beautiful bird and unique among Tanagers in spending more time on the ground than in the foliage…hence the Thrush part of the name. The female, which I got a glimpse of, is orange where the male is rose red. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications and multi-frame noise reduction. Equivalent ISO 5000 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
