Thank goodness for sturdy tripods and image stabilization! photographed this Crested Owl deep in the rainforest in the pouring rain. My shutter speed was 1/30s. Many shots in the sequence were blurry, but as they say, you just need one to be sharp. Awesome bird spotted by our guide Kenneth M Gutiérrez at Centro Manú, Limón Province, Costa Rica, August 1st. - at Centro Manú Costa Rica.
