Rufous-tailed Hummingbird

Rufous-tailed Hummingbird: Danta Corcovado Lodge, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica, December 2022 — Eventually we left the army ant swarm behind and actually made it up to the observation tower at Danta Corcovado…but we were late getting there and there was not a lot of action (and it was hot!). Due the rainy November, the flowers at the base of the tower were not in full bloom yet, but there were a few Rufous-tailed Hummingbirds working them. (We had Golden-tailed in those flowers in 2021.) I chased the Rufous around the tower a few times and got a few shots. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Pro and Apple Photos. ISO 250 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
