Green Violet-Ear Hummingbird
Just got back from a fantastic 2 weeks in Costa Rica! I've only barely started processing photos, but I was anxious to post something. This guy was photographed at Savegre Lodge. Even though he's perched, I like the sense of motion in the wings. I'm probably going to be leading a photography trip to Costa Rica in 2008 along with my friend Greg Basco (see his photo in the Canon ad in the March 2008 issue of National Geographic). Email or PM me if you're interested. More pics to come!
