Chlorophanes spiza

This female Green Honeycreeper is from our October trip to Costa Rica. This one was coming down from the canopy to eat fruit and though it did occasionally come in close it never stopped moving for more than a couple of seconds making photography challenging. Luckily for us the fruit held the bird’s attention long enough for us all to get photos.
