A splendid bird indeed!
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Gorgeous series Rolando! A wonderful spotting for you :) Thank you for sharing!
Truly An Indescribable Spotting!
awesome find!
Unbelievable bird! This would an excellent SOTD!
sweet...
Very nice! I know how good it feels to see them because it takes a long time of waiting very quietly near the nest until they decide to come in and out and then this happens in just a few seconds. I saw them the past year in Paraiso Quetzal, San Gerardo de Dota. An unforgettable experience! :-)
you're right, it was really magical!
Thanks
What a special find! And with video!
Beautiful series of this magical bird Rolando!
Thanks Doreen!
lovely.
