A female White-whiskered Puffbird found at the La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica. Her mate was close-by perched several feet to the right on another tree branch.

Thanks for looking, your comments appreciated.

Cool looking bird Charles. Love the eye. The OOF branch in the BG is not optimal, but I understand getting a clean shot of birds in the rainforest can be very tough, so no nit from me. The detail in the bird does look to be suffering a bit from a larger crop or motion blur. The really nice in my book.
