Crowned Woodnmypth, Rio Santiago Lodge, Honduras<\/p><\/div>\n

Part of what makes Rio Santiago Lodge a great place for Hummingbird photography is how close you can get to the feeders. If you sit on the terrace under the thatched roof of the open-air restaurant, there are feeders hanging just above your head. Moving around in the restaurant is a challenge because if you are not careful you will bump your head on a feeder and get showered in sugar water (or get skewered by a Long-billed Hermit or Saberwing :). Even on the open slope above the lodge where most of the feeders are, you can sit within 8 feet of an active feeder. That makes shots like this possible. This is another Crowned Woodnmpth using one of the home-made feeders off the deck above the lodge.<\/p>\n
