Hummingbirds, woodpeckers and thrushes in Costa Rica

As promised, after the morning of 27 March 2014 near San Gerardo de Dota in Costa Rica, now the afternoon. Including this female volcano hummingbird.

15:35: along the road, in a tree, a black guan.

Ten minutes later: a bird table, with acorn woodpeckers.

A female magnificent hummingbird.

Flame-coloured tanagers. Like this male.

And this female.

Sometimes, a male flame-coloured tanager on the table together with a rufous-collared sparrow.

Sometimes, a rufous-collared sparrow on its own.

Sooty thrushes. A bird species of the highlands of Costa Rica and Panama, not anywhere else. This photo shows a male.

And this one shows a female.

16:05: a red-tailed squirrel at the bird table.

A Wilson’s warbler.

Yellow-thighed finches, feeding on berries. Juveniles don’t have yellow thighs yet. Yet another “Costa Rica and Panama only” species.

16:45: we go back, passing the “mossy tree resplendent quetzal nest” which this blog mentioned earlier.
