Green Hermit Hummingbird: Mirador y Soda Cinchona, Costa Rica, December 2023 — I prefer not take photos of hummingbirds at feeders, but some hummers, some of the time, are just impossible to get otherwise. This Green Hermit, like most hermits, makes lighting raids on feeders at mid-elevations in Costa Rica and Panama, but spends most of its time out of sight deep in the forest understory. Again, if memory serves, this is a bird that I have only ever seen at the Soda in Cinchona. OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm IS zoom at 564mm and 334mm equivalent. (Close enough to hear the wingbeats 🙂 Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
