That is a very good image considering the quality of the light.

K-3iii, DA*300mm f4, the 1.4xTC was only used for the cuckoo shot.

A fabulous set, Steven!

One often overlooked advantage of a telephoto lens is that it can put some distance between you and something that might kill you (being in a tour boat helps as well!)

Nicely done Weevil. The expanse of bokeh in the background works perfectly in that image.

A wading bird to go with several others pasted just above. Greater yellow legs (50~500mm Sigma, original version)

Yes. One of the most widespread species of Crocodylus. Found along both coasts of Mexico and the Middle Americas, along the north coasts of South America on both the Atlantic and Pacific sides of Panama, on most of the Caribbean Islands including all over Cuba and Hispaniola.
