It was a slow day for birds, but the gardens are lovely and there were a few (very few) hummingbirds around. This is also the last photo I will be posting from my solo trip to Costa Rica last December. My next trip to Costa Rica starts in less than two weeks, so it is about time! Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program with my birds-in-flight and action modifications.
