Description

Great Kiskadee, Costa Rica
These boisterous, aggressive birds are a South Texas specialty, and are common throughout Central and South America. They eat snails, fish, and insects.
These two are likely a mated pair, as they hopped around together all morning.
I was happy to catch the bit of yellow on the head.

Hi Sandy, I like this view of the duo with us being able to see the backside of one of the birds and the front of the other AND being able to see the eyes of both birds so well. Nice perch too. Cool image.

Awesome catch, Sandy. Nice positioning of the birds and wonderfully soft background. Nice work.

Very nice to catch them together, Sandy. Excellent composition and technically flawless.
