Hi #featheredfriends fam!
This is a White Hawk. Leucopternis albicollis
Their domain stretches from Southern Mexico to Peru, Northern Bolivia and Eastern Brazil. These photos were taken by me in Costa Rica. I saw this beautiful bird come to land on the branch of a tree way off down in the jungle at the edge of the river. It is about 56cm in height and weighs around 725g!
I knew the photos would not be the clearest but it is SO EXCITING when you see a new bird for the first time, I just HAD to get the best pics I could.
Taken with my Canon Powershot SX60 HS on maximum zoom!
Such a beautiful bird!
The balcony is such a great spot for nature watching. At eye level with all manner of wildlife!
Have a great day everyone!
