Perfect example of what a good photographer and a pretty bird can do.
I've never heard of one but it deserves all of the notoriety that it can get.

Thank you so much for your kind comment. I researched them and they are only found in portions of Panama and a small part of adjacent Columbia. It's no wonder they are coveted.

Pretty shots, my friend, very nice. You always seem to tune in the lighting just right!

Thank you, Rog. I just don't show you the ones with horrible lighting!

Pretty bird, It must have been exciting to capture that image.

Thank you for commenting. Yes, it was exciting. I was told there were birders about the same area the week before trying to see one, but they failed.
