White-throated Mountain-Gem: Miriam’s Quetzals Restaurant, San Geraldo de Dota, Costa Rica, December 2022 — The White-throated Mountain-Gem is, in my experience, the Gem found at the highest elevations in Costa Rica. I had only seen the Purple-throated in the high foothills, and, if memory serves, I have never seen the White-bellied. I have seen way more female White-throated Mountain-Gems than males, so it was nice to see this one off the deck at Miriams on our first stop there. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Pro and Apple Photos. ISO 4000 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
