You've three beautiful pictures to show us today - and of species we don't see coming in too often.

It's wonderful to see you posting again.

Thank you for everyone's kind comments. I have finally processed all my pictures from a 6 week trip to Ecuador last year. What a country!

Luis,
Yes these guys are tough. Very dim light and they are so quick! I took over 200 pictures of this guy and discarded all but 5.
