Great Kiskadee

[Jim Crosswell]

This is a Costa Rica image that was taken in February. It was a set-up intended for Aracaris so the perch is too thick for the Kiskadee. I still like the image and was happy to get it. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Great details, great HA. Really great use of flash, hard to tell the flash was used at all.

Just lovely Jim in all aspects, flash was very well controlled and loving the posture and HA, even a mossy branch to set it all off perfectly....and what a beautiful looking bird
