Inca Jay

INCA JAY

Out of hundreds of beautiful birds we photographed in Colombia recently, the Inca Jay has to be at the top of the list for beauty. When I saw this fellow fly by and land I could not believe my eyes. I fired off about fifty shots in four seconds with most being good. Usually I don’t like bright lighting in the background, but I loved how this image worked out with the light surrounding the tail area. The combination of yellow, pastel green, bright blue, white,black, and aqua in this species as well as the unusual bright blue frontal crest are unique.
