Green Kingfisher: Calla de Gambia, Golfito, Costa Rica \u2014 Still on Calla de Gambia, we crossed a little stream between pastures in an area that might be called \u201copen forest\u201d as much as pasture, since the trees were far enough apart to see all the way across the pasture, but the canopy was pretty solid. From the corner of my eye as we crossed, I caught this Green Kingfisher on a branch right by the culvert and made the bus back up so we could get some better views. It quickly flew off upstream, but not out of sight or out of camera reach. I have, of course, seen Greens in South Texas, most every trip there, but they are still among my favorite birds to see, and our third Costa Rican Kingfisher for the trip. Sony Rx10iv at 517 and 600mm equivalents. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixomator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 1250 and 1600 @ f4 @ 1\/500th. <\/p>\n
