Impressive for hand-holding on a canoe.

Excellent shot. Looks like our Thick knee too. Well done.

You did really well! These are such odd looking birds with those huge eyes. I love the setting in the mangroves.

Looks a lot like the Costa Rican model. You had enough shutter speed to take care of all the handicaps. Excellent capture. V
