This image has so many good qualities, sharp, color cool bird background etc but the best thing is the pose and composition, makes for a superb image.

And no flash
You need to flash almost everything here unless you have a body that can handle very high iso
The D5 or 1dx 2 really help here
Our guide shoots a D500 sigma 150-600C with a BB and gets great results

I'm sure you'll see monkeys at Antonio. You're in a good area.

Randy what a beautiful shot. Can't add to what the others have said. Glad you are having such a great trip.

No monkeys at park. New boardwalk may be a problem

TG for the D5. Under the canopy of Costa Rica you either flash with a better Beamer or you crank up the iso. I was shooting a Pygmy Owl early this morning at iso 8k and no one believed me, they were all flashing the poor bird
