Stripe-tailed Hummingbird: Savergre Mountain Resort, San Geraldo de Dota, Costa Rica — This is another bird that is, in my opinion, “under-named.” I can think of so many more apt and flattering names than Stripe-tailed Hummingbird. And, honestly, the stripe on the tail is the last thing you are likely to notice about this bird. It’s “tell” (the memorable thing about it that is key to your recognition) is the rufous patch on the wings, and on the male, the bright green head and belly. It is not a common bird, but I generally see at least one on every trip to the Talamanca Mountains. This one was on the grounds of Savegre Mountain Resort. Sony Rx10iv at 547mm equivalent.
