Another image from our recent Costa Rica Tour. This adult was chasing an immature as the immature ducked down onto the riverbank- the adult calling as it flew by.

Wow! Excellent everything!!!

I like how you caught the bird looking down with the mouth open. Detail looks great and nice to have a background other than sky.

Excellent flight shot with very good detail, Chuck. I like the wing position and the open beak and you managed to get a fine background as well.

Super great shot, Chuck. I agree with the other’s comments.
