Smooth-billed Ani is one of three species in the genus Crotophaga, which falls within the Cuckoos family. Anis are dark-coloured birds with a distinctive ridged bill, with different appearance in the three species. For comparison, see this image of a Groove-billed Ani (C. sulcirostris) www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/50701319097/in...
This Smooth-billed Ani was observed in an agricultural area near the city of Guapimirim in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil.

Viking Line Cinderella passing in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
The scene was lit by the Moon, however it was so high up that unfortunately didn't fit into the frame. Gave nice glow to the sea, tho.
Have a wonderful day, folks!

"This life ain't good enough."

In mid May I attended a workshop at Valle Verzasca in Switzerland. A weekend for photographing rocks and water.

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.

I saw an opportunity here as the tide was coming in to make contrasting foregrounds, as the water was flowing up underneath the wooden groyne so I put on my little stopper for a longer exposure to smooth out the water. The rough area was nice and lumpy but very soft under my tripod which kept sinking so I had to move around a bit to find a firm spot. I ought to carry some old CDs to put under the legs but there is a limit to how much you can carry, yes I need an assistant lol.
The low sun provided some nice warm light to bounce off the groyne and put some colour in the clouds for me .

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.
