Chestnut-capped Brush-Finch (Costa Rica)

[Glenn Bartley]

This past April I couldnt resist doing a little set up for my group up in the Cloud Forest. This guy was shy and a bit reluctant to get up on this perch that I had set up. But good things come to those who wait...

Cant wait to go back in April with my good friend Greg Basco :)

Nice image and beautiful perch. As my general comment on all of your post...I'd like to see it bigger, like 1024pixels on the longer side. TFS.

Hi,

I agree with Lorant. I particularly like the lighting here, especially on the green plant below the bird.
