@james Fabulous. It's only early Monday morning and this bird and these photos have made my week.

@CiaraNi So glad you could share in my joy!

@james Yay! such a mad looking thing. We were lucky enough to see one in Monteverde a couple of years back. My pics aren't that good though!

Wow, what a gorgeous creature!!

[knowprose@mastodon.social]

@james magnificent!

[wav3ydave@mas.to]

@james We got the whole usual spiel of "oh they're very rare, many people come for years and never see one, etc etc" then literally walked for about 10 mins and the guide was, "oh there's one on that branch"
