I had photographed a dwarf one on the same river a while back so I looked up some info on them. Apparently there are 120-130 different kingfisher species. The Amazon is the second largest after the Kookaburra. I’ll have to revise the bucket list?!

Fun fact, they have a success rate of around 50% when fishing. Pelicans for comparison are about 4%

Amazon Kingfisher. I’ve searched for for these years and have rarely had an opportunity present itself. This trip was different. Once I saw one, they suddenly showed up everywhere. Go figure.

They’re my nemesis too Robert. We were further off the beaten path this trip and it paid off in opportunities. Thanks for your comment.

I apologize if I helped create distrust of the images you see Patrick. I started with film and back then manipulation of prints in the dark room was normal practice.
We all use manipulation in the digital darkroom too. Ai has just become a giant leap in that regard. I hope that we don’t all become luddites and stop the evolution of our…[Read more]

This continues to be a debate. My only caveat is to not use Ai when it comes to journalism. A big dose of analysis is required for anything we see or hear these days.
As far as art is concerned I have no issues with anyone using any kind of tool that accomplishes whatever they’ve envisioned. The resulting art is what’s important.

An iconic bird from Central America (Costa Rica). I’ve been trying to photograph these for years. This time we found their nests in the side of a sandy hill.

Nice portrait of your buddy Robert. Looks like there might be some Border Collie in the mix? He certainly looks alert and connected.

2 Capuchin’s from a troop of about 20. Lots of tom foolery going on with this bunch.

Rob Eyers replied to the topic Squirrel Monkey in the forum General Photo Chit Chat 1wk, 4d ago
I’ve seen those aggressive ones in videos too. Likely a fault of the locals and tourists feeding and bothering them. Ticos (Costa Ricans) are very much into leaving the flora and fauna undisturbed for all to enjoy.
Not sure what the fruit is but I tried it and it tastes a bit like vanilla. Costa Rica has 3 different types of monkeys. They’re all…[Read more]

Here’s my attempt. Having not been there it’s hard to know what it felt like but I’m imaging it was early evening on a fall day.

Nice composition and depth. A peaceful scene.

These monkeys time the birth of their young with the ripening of the fruit they prefer. This one was in the south west region of Costa Rica. Local farmers have changed their crops because some of the fertilizing practices with their previous crops were harming these monkeys. Populations have rebounded as a result.

Thanks Rob. Aging eyes are an aggravation for sure. We’re lucky to live in an age when things that can be done to roll back the clock.
