Here's the first shot I'm sharing from our first Costa Rica trip. (what a great country for bird photography).  This juvenile Bare-throated Tiger Heron was trying to scare off some Yellow-headed Caracaras from his hunting territory.  Photographed lying on the sand of a river bank  Please click on the image to view the larger (sharper) version.

A superb action frame, Nate. Love the pose with wings extended and one foot off the ground. Your low shooting perspective makes it.
