Hi Hivers
Please may I first introduce the Masked Yellowthroat. A very beautiful bird a little difficult to identify.
He is busy collecting materials to build a nest. There is a wonderful variety of moss and lichen just on this one tree. The rainforest is stunningly abundant.
I would like to point out I never play with colours in editing on my photos. So many people like to wang up the colour levels on photos when editing - which is all well and good, but I make a point of NOT doing that so you can really see the true colours of nature in Costa Rica. They ARE WONDROUS AND THEREFORE NOT TO BE FALSELY ENHANCED.
That is why you won't see BRIGHT BLUE skies in some of my photos always but what you do see is the TRUE colour of the birds. They are glorious naturally, I am sure you agree.
As for this vulture, I always think they look like they are wearing masks as in a Venetian Opera or such like..
