Panterpe insignis

The Fiery-throated Hummingbird is one of my favorite Costa Rican hummingbirds so I always end up taking a ton of photos of them whenever I get the chance. I find them to be somewhat challenging to photograph since they never seem to stay in one place for very long and it is even more challenging to get a shot of their beautiful gorget flash. In this photo you can see just a little of the colors that are possible.
