IMG_9858 Information _{(updated 20080409)}

What I currently consider my best shot ever, as I was able to get a bit closer to fill the frame up with the zacuaro (nycticorax violaceus). It was shot hand held at 400 mm, effectively 625 mm, in the setting sun on a fence post near the lagoon at Barra de Navidad.
