Black-eared Wood-quail - Costa Rica - October, 2021

One of the biggest surprises of our trip was our encounter with these birds. Juan Diego was shocked to get a response to his playback from this rare species. The birds walked closer and closer over a ten minute period, finally approaching within a few feet!

These photos were taken with a Canon 7D Mark ii Digital Camera with a 100-400mm zoom lens.
