This bird is constantly on the move searching for insects and is difficult to photograph. Using a continuous shutter, hoped that I could capture this bird as it darted about in the brush. We encountered this one in Belize at the Rio Frio Cave which is not far from the Caracol ruins.

This piece was inspired by birds working a large hibiscus shrub outside the dining hall in La Milpa Lodge, Belize last March.
Red-capped Manakin (Ceratopipra mentalis)
This colorful bird really catches the eye. We saw several of these in forested areas in Belize. This photo shows off the yellow legging of this species. The red head with the yellow and black eye are striking. This one was seen near La Milpa, Belize.
