Tropical Ecology: Birds of La Selva

Sadly, I have few good pictures of birds at La Selva. There are tons of birds, but seeing them and photographing them are two very different things. The deep forest is too dark for photography and many of the the birds move too fast to get good photographs under those conditions. I'm not saying it can't be done, just I haven't had much success at it.

The bright blue eggs of a tinamou at the base of a tree (the male guards the eggs in this species). A hummingbird perched on a heliconia flower. A male slaty-tailed trogon in the deep forest.
