    Default Hola from Costa Rica!

    I am just in San Jose enjoying a few days off between tours. Up in the highlands last week we found these STUNNING Fiery-throated Hummingbirds. Pretty well named eh?

    All the best!

    Unfreekin believable fire. Nice job getting it to shine. I really like the shot and would like it even better with a tiny bit of room on the right.

    It's difficult for me to even imagine a bird this gorgeous,never mind have an opp to photograph it. Love the set up here. The colors go so well together, and he is posing so perfectly. Agree on a tad more space on the right if you have it.

    Amazing bird. As much as I love the colours I also dig the translusence of the tip of the primaries. Super cool.
