Costa Rica! more Broadbills

Broad-billed Motmot: Tico Rainforest B&B, Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, December 2024 — As I mentioned yesterday, this Broad-billed Motmot was very tolerant and allowed me to work around it quite close while it actively hunted for flying insects. It was super alert, but not bothered by me. In fact I may have been of use, as I was undoubtedly stirring up insects as I circled the bird. Happy to help, and I did get a lot of satisfying photos of this bird in return. Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di iii @ 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator. ISO 16000 with some noise reduction in post.
