Buff-fronted Quail Dove: Mirador ye Soda Cinchona, San Jose, Costa Rica, December 2024 — Quail Doves of any kind can be hard to see. They tend to stay on the ground, under the lowest vegetation, and are quiet, both in motion and in vocalizations. This one walked up the foot bridge that serves the fruit feeders at the Soda in Cinchona, and perched momentarily just off the rail of the deck. Not the best light for photography (still raining, so ISO 25600), but the best views of this shy bird that I have ever gotten. Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di iii at 327mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
