The Lesser Violetear hummingbird is one of the small, but fierce little jewels we saw in Costa Rica. 🪶
So very innocent! 😀
Whoa!
Exactly!
It was pretty hilarious!
So this happened on our trip to Costa Rica. Fortunately not MY hat and the member of our group eventually got her hat back. The moral of the story is - hold onto your stuff if capuchin monkeys are around. #BadMonkey #wildlife
Yes, violet sabrewing, rufous-tailed, and white-necked jacobin among others i need to ID.
Thank you! That tail went on forever.
This bird is knock-your-socks-off green!
Thanks Glen! Worth the grueling hike.
We were so happy we managed to spot it, with the help of a guide of course.
After our initial tour in Costa Rica we took a few extra days to go to Monteverde in hopes of seeing the Resplendant Quetzal and succeeded in getting some shots before it disappeared into a hole. *happy dance* 🪶
So fancy!
😬
wow 🤩
And the name is descriptive!
Thanks Glen! Just a dazzling little bird.
Just starting to go through all my photos from Costa Rica but I'll start the week with a small but fierce Red-legged Honeycreeper. 🪶
Kind of carmel swirl.
It’s #Caturday and there is much purring from Cheesecake because we a finally home from Costa Rica. The purring ensures that I won’t immediately kick him off of the table.🐈
Oh, so not a bird you’re hogging in your backyard then? 😜
It’s been great!
Flying home from Costa Rica tomorrow. In the meantime here are some Honduran White Bats sleeping under a leaf. #wildlife
Hopefully the ones on my camera are better. The guide took this one on my phone with the spotting scope. We were so happy to see it.
We did the happy dance!
Resplendent Quetzal! We’re in Monteverde Costa Rica in the cloud forest right now. 🪶
I have a continuous soundtrack in my head but not that.

We went to a butterfly garden while we’re here in Costa Rica and saw these beautiful Blue Morpho and Malachite butterflies
I know, right?
