Green-crowned Brilliant Hummingbird: Mirador y Soda Cinchona, Costa Rica, December 2023 — Circling back to the first full day of our Costa Rican adventure now, and working our way through day by day — In all his finery! In my opinion, one of the most beautiful hummingbirds…all in subtle shades of brilliant green with that little bright blue chin patch. We had lunch (a first for me) while watching the birds at Mirador y Soda Cinchona…which is certainly one of my favorite stops in Costa Rica. And the food was almost as good as the birds! Never enough light, but still. OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm IS zoom at 800mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
