White-throated Mountain Gem: Savegre Mountain Resort and Reserve, San Geraldo de Dota, Costa Rica — I shared this same bird from Paraiso Quetzal Lodge at 10,000 feet, which we visited on our way up to San Geraldo de Dota, but we found this one on the grounds of Savegre Lodge at about 7500 feet a little further down the Pacific slope. It is a highlands hummer, but more associated with the cloud-forest than with the paramo. The other Mountain Gem of Costa Rica, the Purple-throated Mountain Gem, is a bird of the foothills and lower slopes. This bird is sometimes called the Grey-tailed Mountain Gem to differentiate it from the sub-species of Mountain Gem from Western Panama. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with wildlife modifications and multi-frame noise reduction. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 4000 and 2000 @ f4 @ 1/500th. +1 EV exposure compensation.
