Photographer's Comments
"This photograph was taken in Punta Gorda, which is the main town in the southernmost district, Toledo. I took this shot kayaking up a small creek near Punta Gorda called Joe Taylor Creek. There are so many birds along this creek, in fact Toledo in general is one of the best places for birding in the country. We had paddled as far as we could go until the dense growth prevented passage and then turned back. On the way back we saw a Hummingbird nest under some branches with the bird in it. I took several shots, and in this shot I was lucky enough to release the shutter in the instant the bird darted out of its nest, catching him in mid flight." Alex Gamero |
