Since this bird shows up at dusk, I have limited light to work with and I had to use high ISO settings (up to 5600). Thankfully, my Nikon D700 performs really well at such high ISO settings.
While eating breakfast this morning I noticed this beautiful visitor just outside my window, a Blue-crowned Motmot.
Unfortunately the first one was taken through a screen so it lacks sharpness and contrast. Then when I opened the screen he moved a little further away so the next two shots are cropped.
