A little colour for you guys at BPN

Immature white necked jacobin shot from the verandah at the Asa Wright Nature Centre, Trinidad sometime last year. The streak at the upper left is a raindrop. I took out a branch growing out of the bird's breast using DPP.

Thanks guys! IMO this is the most attractive plumage of this species.

Rachel - I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and shooting with you as well! Cheers :-)
