This beautiful blue-green bird is the adult male Green Honeycreeper. We were fortunate to see many of them during our visit to Costa Rica this month. This particular individual appeared to be associated with a mixed species flock of small birds that we encountered while birding along the road. All of a sudden there were many birds of different species all around us foraging in their own ways in the trees and understory. We tried to see and photograph everything we could before they moved deeper into the forest where we couldn’t follow them. Encountering a flock like this is an intense experience.

We will be doing this trip again next spring, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2018-costa-ric...
