An amazing Sunbittern is getting ready to spend the night incubating the 2 eggs they produced. Both (male and female) takes care of the entire incubation and racing process, taking turns along the day. Can't wait to get some shots of the parents and the chicks. That pair nest every year in my home town.

Jeff, I think the bright red eye makes this shot.

A very dramatic image with the sidelight and dark background, Jeff. Love the simplicity and impact of the image.
