This was shot a few minutes after the Motmot arrived, shortly before dinner.  The light wasn't favorable, but the number and variety of birds was impressive.  We came out early the next morning, realizing that if the sun was out, it would be at a great angle, and this worked out quite well, and some of the shots in the 'Birds2' Gallery were taken at that time.
