Canon XTi w/EF100-400
Gamboa, Panama

I first saw him from a distance on the path, as the racquet tip of his tail was not evident, I wasn't sure what he was. With my slow approach he flew of into the shrubs on the side of the path. That was when I knew I had a Motmot. It took some persistence to get clear shots. Luckily, for some reason Motmots don't scare easily.

I saw this fellowat a distance land at the edge of a swampy area. Having previously had a glimpse of a hawk in this area, I approached carefully and started shooting as soon as a clear shot was available. Good thing, he didn't hang around like the Trogons and Motmots.

Gamboa, Panama

From the colour in flight, I thought I had seen a pigeon fly into a distant dark tree. I took a few photos as I approached and the bird flew off before I could get a good look. It was only when I got home that I found out I had done better.

The grounds of the Hotel Gamboa was one of the hottest birding spots around. Rivaling the famous "Pipeline Road". Taken some 30 steps out of the lobby at the edge of the parking lot.
