Golden-hooded Tanager (Costa Rica)
I've been seeing some nice images from the tropics and thought I'd post one of my favorites from a few years back in Costa Rica. This Golden-hooded Tanager (or in Spanish siette colores - "seven colors") was coming in to feed at this fruiting shrub. I was really happy to get a nice clean frame of him. Anyone who has shot in the tropics knows that getting sharp frames at 1/50th of a second is a constant challenge.
Hope you enjoy this one. And keep all the great posts coming!
