I saw these bunch of birds inside the Universidad Para LaPaz with long hanging nests. They can be seen easily because of their sizes and they are quite noisy. The image quality may not be the one I desire but its good enough for recording purposes. 400mm, f/5.6, 1/100s, ISO400 055MF4+GH 400mm, f/5.6, 1/400s, ISO400 055MF4+GH

Beautiful catch with lots of details. You always seem to get close to the birds, I suppose they are not hunted in that place.

The best thing about birding in Costa Rica is that a 400mm lens such as the one I have is sufficient because birds are very close and like you said, are not being hunted. Many people from the US and Europe come here to take birding tours. The government has a very strict laws when it comes to hunting down animals and cutting down trees. Unfortunately in Philippines, we may have enough laws but short on implementation.

The bird did not look at you, maybe you did not shave that day. Heh heh heh. They are still very good pictures. Since this place is near your house you should go there whenever you can. Its such a lovely place with all the different kind of birds and the best thing about it is that you can get close to them. Well done Ariel. Mabuhay.

I probably looked worse than that hehe.. The University is actually owned by UN and is sorrounded by coffee farms, primary and secondary forests. I am planning to go there again and I am hoping to catch a toucan. Regards.
