Endemic to Nicaragua and Costa Rica, this beauty feeds at all levels of wet mountane forests and gardens. Thanks to Bob Kaufman for identifying this bird correctly. Both pictures taken using 7D+400mm f/5.6L, 1/200s, ISO 400   |

You got the purple color of the bird. I always have difficulty with our Purple-throated Sunbird. Well done Ariel and Mabuhay.

Excellent capture, Ariel. You got the purple sheen of the gorget at the right time!

Thanks Bob! As I noticed, the colors appear only at a certain angle. This bird is really a forest gem.

Thanks, Ramon. This picture was taken inside the place called La Paz Waterfalls Garden with Ely.
