I thought this was a fun shot from our Costa Rica trip, the light was fading fast as this species tends to come out late in the day.

The name describes this bird perfectly, Nate. I agree with Jake, a very unique and cool bird.

Wonderful image of this crazy bird, Nate!  You could fit quite a few naval personnel in that 'boat'.  Love it!

Very cool shot! And in my (admittedly limited) experience, a tough subject to get in the open or in any kind of light. Great job!

A really good shot considering how shy these guys are... Fortunately the juveniles like this one are slightly easier to approach.
love the open bill...
