Hummingbirds and coati in Costa Rica

After the golden-browed chlorophonias and other wildlife in the morning of 18 March in Costa Rica, now a blog post mainly about hummingbirds again. Like this male green-crowned brilliant, with its tongue sticking out.

A monarch butterfly.

2pm. The feeders were temporarily replaced by flowers. A bit unusual for the hummingbirds; still, they kept coming. Like this male green-crowned brilliant.

And this violet sabrewing male.

And this green hermit female.

Here, a female purple-throated mountain-gem waits on a stem, while a male green-crowned brilliant hovers.

Some twenty minutes later: a white-nosed coati on the other side of the stream.

Ten minutes later: a green spiny lizard.

We went away, higher up the mountains.
