Colombia Birds (part 1)

[Michael Liskay]

Had the good fortune to join Portland Audubon for a 14-day birding trip earlier this month. Because I am old I limited myself to my lighter-weight Olympus gear (OM-D E-M1 Mk II + 300mm f/4 Pro lens).

There were opportunities for some restful bird photography but also some frantic, behind the leaves, high in the canopy, can only see with a spotting scope opps!! Nevertheless I will post some of my favorite shots beginning with the end of the trip and unclose Andean Condors!

Wow - seriously up close and personal! I like the portrait in the last image.

That is up close. Great job. That had to be fun.
