Common Pauraque: Caño Negro Wetlands Nature Reserve, Costa Rica, December 2024 — The last bird we encountered on our Owl Prowl was a Common Pauraque hunting over the road. We tried to find it perched on a fence post, but the best we could do was this shot in the road. The next morning on or boat tour of Caño Negro, we found the second Pauraque on a roost deep in the tangle of the bank. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. (Night shot by the light of a handheld torch/flashlight.) Processed in Photomator.
