Talamanca Hummingbird: Miriam\u2019s Quetzals, San Geraldo de Dota, Costa Rica, December 2024 \u2014 The problem at Miriam\u2019s is not that the Talamanca Hummingbirds are too far away\u2026it is that they are too close. They were literally buzzing around our heads and often landed behind us under the eaves at the back of the deck. The Talamanca is among the largest hummingbirds in Central America and used to be called the Magnificent Hummingbird, before the species was split and the Central American birds were renamed after the mountain range where they dwell in Southern Costa Rica and Northern Panama. I had my OM System OM-1 on my birds-in-flight program but the 1\/1600th of a second was still not fast enough to completely still the wings at this close distance. 100-400IS zoom at 800mm equivalent. -0.3 EV.
