Black Guan: Mirador ye Soda Cinchona, San Jose, Costa Rica, December 2024 — There are two Guans in Costa Rica, one in Rainforest and foothills and one in the foothills and mountains. The Black Guan favors higher elevations. This one was coming to the fruit feeder in the rain at Mirador ye Soda Cinchona and was the first bird we saw there. Hard to miss. Big as a small turkey, and jet black except for the face patches. An impressive bird. Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di 3. Full body shot at 178mm equivalent and head shots at 600mm. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
