Sitting quietly and giving the impression of a massive hummingbird a Rufous-tailed Jacamar perches along the forest edge in search of an afternoon meal. Feeding mainly in flying insects the Jacamar will sally out from their perch like a fly-catcher and catch insects on the wing.

What a beauty. From the archives or a recent birding trip South?

Hi Eliza. The photo is from the archives. I was revisiting a folder and thought it a good way to travel without traveling so to speak. Hope you’re doing well and keeping healthy.
