Red-legged Honeycreeper (Costa Rica)

I would have loved a little more eye contact here. But I liked the natural perch and the amazing plumage of this frisky little guy.

Gorgeous colors & very nice composition Glen.

They are frisky and difficult to photograph! Nicely done, all I've seen of these species has been either high in the canopy or in the darkest forest.
