Golden-hooded Tanager

Golden-hooded Tanager: Las Cruces Biological Station (OTS), San Vito, Costa Rica — These are not the first Golden-hooded Tanagers I have shared, even from our most recent December trips to Costa Rica. Certainly an eye-catching bird, and common around dwellings and in mixed feeding flocks. All these shots were around the banana platform off the patio by the dinning hall at Las Cruces. As the morning progressed the light got better. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with wildlife modifications and multi-frame noise reduction. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 2500, 1600, and 1250 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
