Still we arrived in the highlands in time to make a stop at Miriam\u2019s Quetzels&#8230;a small coffee shop on the mountainside with a Quetzel tree out back&#8230;and feeders for when the Quetzels are elseware&#8230;as in today. We did have a number of great birds around the feeders, including this Slaty Flowerpiercer. You can see in this shot were the bird gets its name. They feed from the bottom of blossoms by poking a hole in the base and extracting nectar and insects. This bird was busy only about 4 feet from the deck. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
