A bare-throated framed by the exuberant vegetation in the canals of Tortuguero National Park. I absolutely love bird photos that have a hint of the environment. When the boat I was on stalled and we began to drift aimlessly in the jungle canal, I was at first distraught to think that I would a miss a morning's shooting. But, while my boat driver Santiago used his cell phone (coverage is amazing!) to call a friend, a tiger heron perched atop this giant Raffia palm lead draped with a jungle vine. I quickly composed and fired off a few frame, knowing I had gotten the shot of the morning. Drifting aimlessly for another hour now seemed just fine :-)
