Eight new varieties
of hummingbirds were added to our life list; unfortunately, several
were just too quick for successful photographs (including the endemic
Coppery-headed Emerald). The Voilet Sabrewing remained well in the shadowed recesses of the vegetation, but the flash yielded a striking image in the darkness. (Note the pollen on his bill and forehead.)
As one of the few birds which tended to perch and rest frequently, the Green-crowned Brilliants provided several razor-sharp images.
