Here's another shot from our recent Costa Rica trip.  This juvenile Bare-throated Tiger Heron was none too happy that this juvenile Common Black Hawk swooped down into it's territory.

Nice Nate.. Question, when you were lying on your stomach for the image, how did you support the lens? Tripod?

Thanks James.  No I wasn't using a tripod.  Most of the time I use the lens foot plate for support placing it directly on the sand, but sometimes I am handholding it just above the level of the ground though.
