We watched for a awhile as a Gartered Trogon perched on a branch intently watching the forest floor below. After a few minutes the bird flew down to forest floor and returned to their perch with prize in beak. It took them a minute or so to correctly position their catch but once they did it was….
…down the hatch it goes.
Quite a mouthful if I can say so myself.
Timing is everything…and yours was perfect 👏👏👏.
Sometime you get lucky.
Incredible, Mike. I know trogons well and they’re very elusive and their range is limited. This series is truly spectacular.
Thanks Jet, it was fun to see this bird and catch some foraging behavior.
yummy
perhaps for the trogon.
Incredible timing !!
I just loved both the images…
Now a days, I am drawn more towards these winged beauties 🙂
HI and thanks, it wass fun to watch and lucky timing for us to catch this beautiful bird making a catch.
Now that’s a juicy catch!
Thanks Kathy and a very happy holidays to you.
Awesome catch, Mike! Guess it doesn’t mind being watched while eating. You can say so but not with your mouth full. 🙂
Thanks Steve and wishing you a very happy holidays.
Nice action shots and what a beautiful bird and snack!
