I was hiking along a river, hoping to photograph toucans when I saw a movement up in the trees. Just by happenstance I had stumbled across a Northern Tamandua Anteater looking for grub. She eventually found a large ant colony, but only ate a portion before sliding down the tree on her belly.

As the tide was going out early in the morning, this adult sandpiper was dancing with the waves coming in and out, occasionally eating the tiny critters that washed in.

I almost missed this motmot. I was walking under it when it hopped along a branch, getting my attention. I had just a moment to get a couple shots.

As the sun was setting, a mass of large birds appeared outside a cove in Costa Rica. As the sun grew lower and lower, they began to descend upon a series of rocks to rest. This is a picture of the nightly gathering.

On a cloudy day in April, several American Avocets landed in a reservoir to hunt for the afternoon. I waited a couple hours for one to get close enough to photograph, and finally this guy walked over towards me all by himself.
