Coming from southeast Texas where we pretty much get one species of hummingbird it is thrilling to visit Costa Rica where there are around 50 species possible. Many of those species are elaborately colored like this Purple-throated Mountain-gem that we photographed this past March in the Monteverde area. On this particular day we wrapped things up at a coffee shop with a bunch of feeders swarming with hummers. What a way to finish a great day of bird photography!
