Immature Male Slaty-tailed Trogon: Tico Rainforest B&B, Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, December 2024 \u2014 Shortly after photographing the full adult male Slaty-tailed Trogon at relatively close range, in Victor\u2019s little patch of second growth rainforest, this bold young male flew in, taking insects from the air. This bird still has the gray shading between the green breast and red belly, and the top mandible is not completely orange yet. You can see the intricate grey patterning on the wings, which is typical of both immatures and adults. These two shots are at 600mm equivalent\u2026so not as close as the bird eventually came. I have head shots at 600mm, and head and shoulder shots at less than 400mm. \ud83d\ude42 Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di iii at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator. <\/p>\n
