This bird was captured by luck of timing inside of an aviary at Zoo Miami’s Amazon and Beyond exhibit. The aviary is walk through, and when this animal was captured, it was serious luck of timing. This bird actually landed for a few seconds on a WATERFALL, so I’m sure the rocks were slippery.

Equipment

The camera was a Sony Cybershot megazoom, and Then don’t quite remember the type

I have since sold my Cybershot, because I have a Nikon D3400, with the two lenses. But the bag normally contains the charger, 2 batteries, the body and the lenses. I am looking to but the Nikon Coolpix P1000, but I cannot afford so…donations are much appreciated =]]]
