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.
This beautiful Blue Crowned Mot Mot comes hunting for bugs in our garden almost every evening. I will try to get some better shots in the future.

This beautiful butterfly took a rest on our living room wall.
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.
We came across this beautiful blue snake while walking the river trail this morning, and I have not been able to identify it. It was about 4-5′ long with pronounced scales and a very nice iridescent blue colour. If anyone knows what kind of snake it is, and have more information on it, please let me know!
