Horned Screamer

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Captured this image this past June in Peru from a skiff motoring up a blackwater tributary of the Amazon. I consider myself lucky getting an in flight image since it's rare to see. I was also very pleased to see the wing spurs so clearly. C&C welcome.

Nice in flight image of a rare bird, Geoffrey. I would tone down the yellow by about forty percent to give the bird a better chance to stand out.

Great incoming look at this unusual bird. Love the spurs. Karl's suggestion is worth a try.

Thanks Karl and Bill, and for suggesting toning down the yellow. Here's the repost.

Hi Geoffrey,
The repost is an improvement for sure.
