Wet Rufous-tailed Hummingbird

Rufous-tailed Hummingbird: Las Tardes Community Ecological Project, Corcovado National Park, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica — We got caught in the rain on our exploration of the road above Las Tardes station, but made it back before we got soaked…not so much true for this Rufous-tailed Hummingbird that was hanging around off the covered deck where we had our lunch. I suspect he was enjoying the shower. The Rufous-tailed Hummingbird seems to be the most prevalent hummer in Central America…and is certainly the most present around feeders. No feeders at Las Tardes, and this one was still trying to dominate the available resources. 🙂 Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
