Widely distributed from south-eastern Mexico to Ecuador, Bolivia and most of Brazil, the Rufous-tailed Jacamar is far from being one of the rarest or most sought-after species on the reserve. Constantly on the lookout for butterflies and other flying insects, they rarely sit still for very long, however, so I was particularly pleased with this shot, the bird's hummingbird-like, iridescent plumage glistening in the sunlight.
