White-throated Magpie-jay

Samara Beach, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

These are one of the most common birds in this part of Costa Rica and love to come visit everyone while they are eating breakfast and look for handouts as well as things they can just grab and fly away with. They even took sugar packets and were smart enough to open them and eat the sugar out of them. I took a lot of images of them and many, like this one, where the bird was so close that with the big lens I brought to breakfast, this is all I could get in the image.

Don't you just hate it when the lens you have with you is too long? :-)

I know what you're saying about having the wrong lens; it has happened to me many times. However, you did end up with a great shot. V

Terrific Nature portrait. Love the details and the catch-light in its eye.
