These were taken last week. Coming back to this cold was quite the shock. Took a walk down Pipeline Rd. but it was easier to see the birds at the Gamboa.

Blue Crowned Manakin


Southern Lapwing


Black Breasted Puffbird


Tiger Heron


Crimson Backed Tanager


Keel Billed Toucan


White necked Jacobin


Smooth Billed Ani


Slaty Tailed Trogon


Golden Hooded Tanager (not sure about the two in the bg)


Collared Aracari


Blue Crowned Motmot

Nice shots, and some neat looking birds.  The egret looks neat with the black background.  What's the red bird in the 6th picture?  It looks really cool.

Fabulous shots! Great to see the diversity, the stunning beauty and colour the rest of the world has to offer.

FYI: You didn't have to leave for the cold to be a shock... let me assure you (smile)!

I like the Toucan and Aracari in particular.  As for the Egret, the contrast and exposure are great.  I think it would look even better if there was more canvas below him.  Its a very easy job in Photoshop, just select Image>Canvas Size and add black canvas to the bottom then crop as you see fit.  These shots make me want to go south ASAP.

Great shots.  Any chance you could label all the images with species names?
