This shot is a bit more shaky but it shows the beak and the tail better.
It was more less an accident that we spotted this Laughing Falcon sitting on a branch right in an opening in the trees. Nice!

This is a bird that is always nice to see. It is great to see them gathering. I probably ave better shots elsewhere. Will post them when I find them.

This shot, however bad, shows it is a female. She has the white band on the chest.

Lots of birds in CR had that striped head. It is pretty hard sometimes to tell them apart when you are no expert on them
