    Panama Canopy Tower for rainforest wildlife & photography (April/May 2024)

    Bare-crowned Antbird painting

    Bare-crowned Antbird, I’m usually painting the endemics of Central America but on a whim will work on other random species. I call this lot the outlier paintings set. They are chosen spontaneously and without any real logic behind those choices. The female is the bright russet bird in the...

A great combination of colours and a unique call make this a really special species and one to appreciate.When the male calls he progressively leans forward and looks like he will fall off the branch but then suddenly gets himself back into...

    Cinnamon Hummingbird - Amazilia rutila

    This was the first hummingbird I saw perched for longer than 5 seconds. The ones before this were constantly on the move and impossible to get photos of. This species occurs from Mexico south to northern Costa Rica and prefers dry forests, so the habitat was a lot different from where most other...
