Masked Trogon (male)

Masked Trogon (male), originalmente cargada por Jim Scarff.

Taken at the photo blind at the Tandayapa Lodge in the Tandayapa Velley (8,400'). The white object beneath the bird's bill appears to be a tick.
This photo shows some of the amazing things digital camera technology is capable of. It was extremely dark in the cloud forest and not long after dawn. This photo was taken at 1/40 second (no flash allowed at the blind), handheld (braced on a window), f/5.0 at ISO 3200! And I remember when the fastest slide film was ISO 25....
