Red-headed Barbet: Mirador y Soda Cinchona, Costa Rica, December 2023 — The Red-headed Barbet certainly deserves another shot…in my opinion one of the most stunning birds of Costa Rica. And only my third sighting in over 10 trips there (and one of those was the slightly less colorful but just as interesting female). And this encounter was on our first real bird stop on the first day of our adventure. What a way to start! OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm IS zoom at 800mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator and TouchRetouch (some banana removed to feature the bird).
