2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Tropical Kingbird, Arenal Area; Open Space, Costa Rica
Trying to get it comfortable

Species: Tropical Kingbird | Location: Arenal Area; Open Space, Costa Rica

While on a trip to Costa Rica, a few of the travelers got up at dawn to walk around and to see what was happening. One bird flew out of a tree with a nut or fruit in his beak and I took a series of six shots. He wanted to get the fruit just so in his beak and tossed it in the air to catch it as he wanted. He actually almost dropped it but recovered it in time. I was in burst mode and was lucky enough to catch this particular shot.
