Truly beautiful set Ely. I am happy for you that you where able to capture rare birds such as the pair of Great Curassow and the elusive Chesnut-headed Oropendula. Regards!

These are definitely much better photos than the one I took. This specie also has eluded me from the beginning. I'm not sure if I still have time to go out and look for this elusive tanager. Thanks for sharing!

Last week, I went to Perez Zeledon and visited once again the the garden of famous bird book author, Dr. Alexander Skutch. This is the first time I visited the place since Ely and I went there last March. During the trip, I was happy to be able to capture the male and female of this Green Honeycreeper. All pictures taken using Canon 7D+400mm f/5.6L 1/160s, ISO 800, 1/160s, ISO 800

I'm happy that you were able to get beautiful pictures of this bird from this area. I think I don't have decent pics from the parking area. Pic #1 is an instant favorite. Regards, Ely.

Thanks Ely. Andres is doing fine. He told me that you sends him emails. I also met Guillermo, the guide we met at San Gerardo. He also told me that you send him emails about your photos.

I am also not a big fan of unnatural perches. But at least here, the bird pictures turned out to be awesome. I will not just look at the perches

My Costa Rican friend Andres sent me an email this week and informed me that the weather in Perez Zeledon has been excellent lately. Andres is one of the staff that works in Los Cusingos. I drove almost four hours just to get there but along the way there were rains and thick fogs. I arrived at the site at around 9AM and quickly set up my gears. Among the usual birds that can be seen there, I was happy to see and be able to photographed this beautiful Golden-naped Woodpecker, a new lifer for me. This is the female 7D+400mm f/5.6L lens, 1/200s, ISO 640 And here's the male. 1/500s, ISO 640

I remember this moment when we spent almost the whole morning photographing these birds. It was really fun and the best of all, we had the opportunity to photograph the Roseate Spoonbill.

Thank you Ely. It's been more than a year since I last saw those Masked Tityras and I was just happy to photograph the birds once again before I leave this country. Meanwhile, Your whole-body picture of the Blue-crowned Motmot is nice as it shows the racquet tail. Regards.

Colors of the bird blended very well with the surroundings. Well done, Tonji.

Nice harvest! Compare to raptors and water birds, these mountain gems are much more fun to photograph. For me, the picture of the Elegant Tit stood out. It is indeed quite impressive and nice to hear what Mr. Quisumbing has done to this place and to the people of Bangkong Kahoy.

Impressive series of action shots. It is always very interesting to see a bird with food on its beak.
