Fulvous Owl

El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve; Chiapas, MX

Probably the bird everyone most wants at El Triunfo, behind Horned Guan.

We worked very had for this bird, before Michael finally worked his magic and got this beauty to cooperate. Watching this bird come into us, through the bromeliad-laden trees is a sight that I will never forget.

It was very dark under the canopy, and I was shocked when this photo turned out this well given the slow shutter speed that I had.

Jeff Wilson saw the photo, and right on the money said "looks like a Barred that lost a bar fight"
