Hola from Costa Rica!

Postby Glenn Bartley » Thu Apr 12, 2012 8:29 pm

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!

Wow the colouration on that Fiery-throated hummingbird is very similar to seeing oil in a rainy puddle. Some great photos again Glenn.
You higher mammal, can you read?

It looks amazing, more like an over the top ornament rather than a living creature!

Beautiful picture.
I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
