We found lots! One of the highlights was this Broad-billed Motmot who had caught a rather large flying insect and was having difficulty both subduing it, and getting it down. I have snipit of video showing it beating it against the branch. It eventually got it swallowed and I hope it made up in nutrients what it cost the Motmot to catch and eat it. Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di3 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications.
