Portraits of Tropical Birds Attending Their Nests

All photos by Ian Ausprey

Locations: Manu Road, Peru ~ Pomacochas, Peru ~ Quebrada Gonzalez, Costa Rica

Prior to starting my PhD I composed the following portraits while working for several avian field research project in Peru and Costa Rica. My goal was to show these little-known species at their most intimate – attending nests, ideally with young. There are few if any other such photos for these species.
