Hello Neighbour!
Superb capture of the Clay-coloured Thrush, a rather dapper bird to ba a the national bird of Costa Rica! One would have thought a quetzal or some other spectacular bird would have such a status.
Nevertheless, this is a fine sharp and technically superb capture of what I think must be a first for the species on TN. The composition and POV are also first class.
Thanks for sharing this fine image,
Ivan

Chris, you have excelled yourself in this remarkable shot of the national bird of Costa Rica. Congratulations!
Unfortunately I have missed quite a bit of your work from this trip. Will try to catch up.
I love the focus you have got on the bird's eye.

Hello Chris,
You'd almost expect Costa Rica to have a brightly coloured bird as their national bird but this one is very beautiful too. Excellent capture of it in a fine pose and I love the "clay" colour and the sharp details. Grat focus on the beautiful eye!
Many thanks, Ulla
