Slaty Flowerpiercer: Savegre Mountain Hotel, Reserve and Spa, San Geraldo de Dota, Costa Rica \u2014 This is my second post for the Slaty Flowerpiercer. The previous post featured close-ups of the female and one distant shot of the male, taken at Batsu Gardens on the mountainside above Savegre Hotel. This is the all male review\u2026though it is all the same male, and we found him right on the grounds of the Hotel. You can see the flower-piercing beak very well in these shots and from several angles. \ud83d\ude42 I was very happy to get these shots, as the Flowerpiercers are highly active birds and rarely pose. The Slaty is the only Flowerpiercer in Costa Rica, though there is one other species in Central America (the Cinnamon-bellied from Mexico and northern Central America) and 18 total, mostly in the Andean highlands of South America. Sony Rx10iv at about 500mm equivalent (I was really close to this bird). Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 1250 and 1000 @ f4 @ 1\/500th. + 1EV exposure compensation. <\/p>\n
