Common Yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas)

This striking little songbird is easily recognized by the male’s bright yellow throat and breast, olive-colored back, and distinctive black facial mask bordered by a pale stripe.

Common Yellowthroats are found throughout much of North America, often inhabiting marshes, wetlands, brushy fields, and dense vegetation. They primarily feed on insects and other small invertebrates.

Their distinctive song is often described as “wich-i-ty, wich-i-ty, wich.”

The Yellow-naped Amazon (Amazona auropalliata) is one of Central America’s most intelligent and charismatic parrots, recognized by the bright yellow patch on the back of its neck. These remarkable birds are capable of learning an extensive vocabulary and can live for more than 50 years in the wild. Sadly, habitat loss and illegal trapping for the pet trade have caused their populations to decline, making every wild encounter even more meaningful.

One of the rainforest’s most unforgettable faces — the Keel-billed Toucan (Ramphastos sulfuratus).
Despite that massive colorful bill, it’s surprisingly lightweight thanks to its honeycomb-like keratin structure. These incredible birds play a huge role in seed dispersal, helping regenerate tropical forests with every meal

After years of chasing moments in the wild, I finally captured my all-time favorite shot — the incredible American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) With its mouth fully open, displaying its incredible teeth

One of the largest reptile predators in the Americas, these ancient survivors can grow over 15 feet long and thrive in both saltwater and freshwater habitats, from mangroves to coastal estuaries. Watching one this close and freezing this exact moment in time is exactly why I do what I do.

The White-faced Capuchin (Cebus imitator) is one of Costa Rica’s most intelligent primates, known for its incredible problem-solving skills, tool use, and complex social behavior. These highly adaptable monkeys live in tight family groups and spend their days foraging for fruit, insects, eggs, and small vertebrates high in the tropical canopy.

Turquoise-browed Motmot (Eumomota superciliosa) with a freshly captured Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae) in Costa Rica

Famous for its brilliant turquoise plumage and distinctive racket-shaped tail feathers, the Turquoise-browed Motmot is an ambush predator that feeds on a variety of insects, including butterflies, beetles, and dragonflies. This image captures a rarely observed moment as the motmot prepares to consume a Cloudless Sulphur, one of the most widespread yellow butterflies in the Americas.

After countless hours scanning the canopy in Costa Rica, I finally had the chance to photograph a Hoffmann’s two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni).

Despite their slow reputation, these incredible mammals are perfectly adapted to life in the treetops. Hoffmann’s two-toed sloths can rotate their heads up to 270°, spend most of their lives hanging upside down, and move so slowly that algae often grows in their fur—providing natural camouflage from predators.

After 11 years of searching, patience, and countless hours in the field, I finally photographed one of the rainforest’s most elusive predators—the Jaguar (Panthera onca).

As the largest cat in the Americas, jaguars possess the strongest bite force of any big cat relative to their size, capable of crushing turtle shells and caiman skulls. They are powerful swimmers, apex predators, and a keystone species that help maintain healthy ecosystems throughout their range.
