Motmot

This is a Turquoise-browed Motmot, the national bird of Nicaragua.
The story: Enroute to the Carara NP on the Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica we came across several motmots that were feeding their young. They would return to the trees above a dirt bank along a very busy rural highway, and then fly into the several burrowed nests that were built into the roadside bank. I shot this from across the road and had to push the ISO to get as much speed as my kit would yield. My hope was to capture enough sharpness on the eye to render a respectable image.
Thanks for looking.
