Brian Morin: Great capture
Chris: Thanks. This was probably the greatest birding/photograph experience I’ve had. A major thanks goes to Sue and Ahmad who helped organize so much, as well as identify the constant flow of birds.

One of the first birds of the day at Las Cotingas. The angle and light fortunately bringing our the marvelous iridescence - a bit of competition for all the hummingbirds :)

Las Cotingas. There was so much activity this bird was almost missed. Fortunately it was relatively close to a Quetzal and someone yelled out advising of another bird to ID.
