Costa Rican mountain hummingbirds

Still 28 March 2014 in San Gerardo de Dota in Costa Rica. After the earlier birds of that day, hummingbirds: like this green violetear.

Nectar feeders and flowers attract hummingbirds; and a slaty flowerpiercer as well.

The hummingbird species include volcano hummingbird.

Sometimes, a female volcano hummingbird rested on a branch.

Or on a leaf.

White-throated mountaingems were present as well.

And a relatively big species: magnificent hummingbird.

Another Central American cool mountain forest species: yellowish flycatcher.

At 10:20, a swallow-tailed kite flies overhead.

We have to leave, to the Central Valley of Costa Rica.
