Costa Rican Brown-billed Sythebill

[Jay Ing]

Was in a bird hide near where I stayed in CR down in the OSA rainforest. About 7 feet away was a nice coconut tree. Several birds, including this one came to get material for their nests. He was only there for a second but this was the best of the few I got. C&C welcome.
Context: Handheld, D500 with 300 PF f4, Manuel with auto-ISO, ISO 4000, 1/500s (should have been higher), f5.6 (wide open), 420mm (about 620 on DX).

Nice look at a bird we don't see here often (if ever?), Good head turn. BG is busy, but it shows what he was doing. Thanks for sharing.

Something different for sure. Nice pose and HA on the bird. Well captured.
