First picture is amazing.
MaryRosales, I don't have to climb the tree ... rsrs Here was must use all the zoom range of my camera.
Leuba, in fact this species adapts well to human presence. It is often found in backyards and squares of cities here in Minas Gerais. Thanks for the comments!
great photos! Looking at the plants/trees he's sitting on, it seems he's quite comfortable around human activity !? he's a cute size...
Wonderful photographs, wondering if your sitting comfortable in the tree?
Ditto above. The first photo with the kill framed by baby pink blooms is amazing!
Beautiful bird and amazing spotting with it's lunch in its talons.
