Broad-billed Motmot: La Selva Biological Station (OTS), Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica \u2014 The normal way to bird La Selva is to walk the entrance road in the morning before breakfast at the headquarters buildings, but our day was not normal because we had to reschedule. We ended up going back to walk the road late one afternoon (which is when we saw the Cotinga posted yesterday). It was late\u2026well after sunset\u2026when we found this Broad-billed Motmot sitting on the wires. We slowly worked our way forward to fill the frame as much as possible, but the light was going fast. Bad light from a bad angle, but at least a record shot. The Broad-billed Motmot looks quite a bit like the Rufous Motmot\u2026but is smaller, has less rufous, and has that little turquoise chin patch\u2026which you can barely see in this photo. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with custom birds and wildlife modifications. ISO 1600 @ f4 @ 1\/500th. <\/p>\n
