said, our only significant rain of the trip. And did it rain! Pretty much steady rain for 48 hours. We were still damp from our first day\u2019s wetting when we gathered for breakfast our first morning at Selva Verde (even after using the hair dryers in our rooms on our shoes and socks), but we were greeted by the usual assortment of tropical Rain Forest birds at the feeding station below the breakfast room\u2026including this Rufous Motmot\u2026which I believe is the largest of the Motmots in Costa Rica. It is a spectacular bird by any account. When I visited Selva Verde last, before the pandemic, the Motmot was in residence, but rarely came to the feeding station, and certainly did not perch out in the open. On this visit it was a daily visitor and highly visible. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with multi-frame noise reduction. Processed in Polarr and Apple Photos. Equivalent ISO 6400 @  f4 @ 1\/60th. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-14904\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=14904&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-14904\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=14904&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=14904&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rufous Motmot: Selva Verde Lodge, Sarapique, Costa Rica \u2014 We had a cold front coming through our first two days in Costa Rica, and as I have said, our only significant rain of the trip.
