Red-billed Pigeon (Patagioenas cayennensis)

November 28, 2016November 28, 2016 / The Nature Admirer

In Ciudad Colón, this pigeon is not as common as the White-winged Dove, however I have seen a few during this year, and spotted a group of those in Heredia. Photographed on November 27th, 2016.

A bird species does not have to be rare to be a beauty, and the proof is in Blue-gray Tanagers. We see them daily at our gardens in Costa Rica, yet their metallic blue wings are a wonder to watch. #bird_captures #birds #animals #wildlife #wild #nature #costarica #rain #forest #picoftheday #photography #instagram #photooftheday #tanager #instagood #instadaily #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #nationalgeographic #natgeo #bestnatureshot #ig_naturelovers #nature_perfection #bns_nature #birdsofCostaRica #birdsofinstagram #bestbirds #bestbirdshots #bestphotoselect

A Red-eyed Tree Frog clings to the branch with eyes partially covered by the nictitating membrane, which is used to cover the eyes to see underwater.

When the Yellow-throated Toucan makes its appearance, all other birds flee. Their fear is well-founded: Toucans eat the eggs a chicks from other bird species. It is better not be near one of them. #bird_captures #birds #animals #wildlife #wild #nature #costarica #rain #forest #picoftheday #photography #instagram #photooftheday #toucan #instagood #instadaily #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #nationalgeographic #natgeo #bestnatureshot #ig_naturelovers #nature_perfection #bns_nature #birdsofCostaRica #birdsofinstagram #bestbirds #bestbirdshots #bestphotoselect

The body of this tree frog is covered in warts, so it can look repulsive to many people. Yet amphibians have a very important role in wet ecosystems, as some of the insect prey they consume might develop into plagues if unchecked. #tree #frog #amphibians #animals #wild #wildlife #nature #costarica #rain #forest #nocturnal #hourglass #picoftheday #photography #instagram #photooftheday #beautiful #instagood #instadaily #macro #macrophotography #nationalgeographic #naturephotography #natgeo #macrospotlight #bestnatureshot #ig_naturelovers #nature_perfection #bns_nature

Sometimes I feel like I am not close enough, but I still take the shot. This is one such scene. While not the close up portrait that I strive for, it has a beauty of its own, by including a little bit of the environment this hummingbird is in. This individual always returned to perch to the same leaf, for reasons that I could not determine. Most probably it was his / her territory. #bird_captures #birds #animals #wildlife #wild #nature #costarica #rain #forest #picoftheday #photography #instagram #photooftheday #hummingbird #instagood #instadaily #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #nationalgeographic #natgeo #bestnatureshot #ig_naturelovers #nature_perfection #bns_nature #birdsofCostaRica #birdsofinstagram #bestbirds #bestbirdshots

Woodpeckers like this Black-cheeked provide shelter for other bird species to rear they young. Many times the nests that they empty are reused by similarly sized birds to construct theirs, with Emerald Toucanets as one such example, but even some owls will make use of them. #bird_captures #birds #animals #wildlife #wild #nature #costarica #rain #forest #picoftheday #photography #instagram #photooftheday #woodpecker #instagood #instadaily #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #nationalgeographic #natgeo #bestnatureshot #ig_naturelovers #nature_perfection #bns_nature #birdsofCostaRica #birdsofinstagram #bestbirds #bestbirdshots

Another shot of the Hourglass Frog. This is a male, which is noticeably smaller than the female. Like many other frogs, it clings on top of the female to estimulate her to release her eggs, which he then fertilizes in the water. #tree #frog #amphibians #animals #wild #wildlife #nature #costarica #rain #forest #nocturnal #hourglass #picoftheday #photography #instagram #photooftheday #beautiful #instagood #instadaily #macro #macrophotography #nationalgeographic #naturephotography #natgeo #macrospotlight #bestnatureshot #ig_naturelovers #nature_perfection #bns_nature

A Green Heron stalking small fish from the edge of the lagoon. Their long feet and toes let them wade in the shallow waters. Instead of continuously probing the water like sandpiper and other shorebirds, the Heron simply moves very slowly, then stands still, waiting for the perfect moment to catch its prey. #bird_captures #birds #animals #wildlife #wild #nature #costarica #rain #forest #picoftheday #photography #instagram #photooftheday #beautiful #instagood #instadaily #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #nationalgeographic #natgeo #bestnatureshot #ig_naturelovers #nature_perfection #bns_nature #birdsofCostaRica #birdsofinstagram #bestbirds #bestbirdshots
