We saw many groups of Smooth-billed Ani’s during our trip to the Pantanal. This ended up being a species that we probably didn’t pay as much attention to as I would have liked because there were plenty of them around. I thought these two looked pretty neat on their perch, that beak is pretty crazy looking.

People often complain you can't get enough bokeh using micro four thirds, I disagree. Under the right conditions you can get plenty :)
The hotel we stayed in in Northern Borneo was chosen on account of the abundant wildlife that calls the hotel grounds their home. In all we counted five of these Smooth Coated Otters.

The falls are part of a chain of many within the perimeters of Hocking Hills State Park, Ohio. During the spring and after heavy rainfall these waterfalls flow freely, since they are fed by runoff and not by the tradition method of being part of a river or creek. Other times the falls can dry up, but the gorges and hiking trails throughout the park are well worth the visit even without the flowing water.

Crotophaga ani (Smooth-billed Ani / Garrapatero)
The Smooth-billed Ani is a widespread resident of scrub and forest clearings from the Caribbean and Costa Rica south to Uruguay and northern Argentina; it also occurs in south Florida, although the population there has declined significantly there in recent years. Smooth-billed Anis live in small flocks and eat a variety of insects, small vertebrates and fruit.
