Here's a multi-flash shot from this summer's Ecuador tour.  The bird on the left is a Chestnut-breasted Coronet while the one on the right is a Buff-tailed Coronet.  All species of coronets tend to raise their wings right after they land. 
Canon 5D4, 100-400 at 371mm 1/200 F20, iso 800, Gitzo tripod, Wimberley head, 580ex flash at 1/128, 5 Nikon SB-26 slave flashes at 1/16, canvas background

Very nice shot. Lovely colors and nicely dialed in set-up with flashes.

This shot illustrates well how knowing the tendencies of certain species can pay off. Well done.
