I had to shoot through a lot of foreground foliage for this one, but according to my guide, this subspecies of the green and rufous kingfisher is a rarity — at least for the area of Guyana that we were hiking in. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1800, f/5.6 at 1/500th of a second.
Thanks Sue. Yeah, we followed this little guy and I was finally able to get a somewhat open window through the trees. The bird eye tracking of the new mirrorless cameras certainly helps.

What a delight it must have been for you to see & photograph this rare species! Good for you, Sean!
