This image was captured from my trip last month to the Talamanca Cordillera in Costa Rica. We had excellent views from both the male and the female working the nest. Here the male has completed some light housekeeping and awaits the female's arrival to inspect his work.

Beautiful, Chuck. I love the way you framed this.l It makes that tree trunk look more like a cliff face. Excellent dof.
