Usually seen in pairs, this bird is blue-grey all over but most brightly colored on the wings and tail. Chiefly a fruit-eater but also takes nectar and insects. Can be found throughout Costa Rica.

What a bright red bird! First pic is very nice. We don't see many bright red birds here, not the whole body anyway. Great photo. Thanks Tonji! I liked the first pic too as it is sharper than the others. It was my first time to see this kind of tanager as well. They can be easily seen because of their bright red color but they are difficult to shoot because they are always active and move a lot. Thanks for viewing.

Wow! Excellent shot! It indeed looked like a floating hummy but the colors are more beautiful!

Thank you Tonji, Telyds and Neon for the wonderful comments. I am looking forward to my trips this coming semana santa and hopefully to share more birds (and butterflies too!) from this place. Regards.

"It is 40-41 cm long, with deep blue or bluish-gray plumage with white markings, a shaggy crest and a broad white collar around the neck. Its most distinguishing characteristic is the entire rufous belly, which also covers the entire breast of the male. Females are more colorful than the male (i.e., reverse sexual dimorphism) and have a bluish-gray breast and a narrow white stripe separating the breast from the belly." (source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringed_Kingfisher)all shots at 400mm, f/5.6, iso800

Thanks, Ely. Based from Wikipedia, the male is bright rose red and the female is colored yellow. I saw this bird easily because of its bright red color. Regards.

"The Summer Tanager, Piranga rubra, is a medium-sized American songbird. Formerly placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae), it and other members of its genus are now classified in the cardinal family (Cardinalidae).[2] The species's plumage and vocalizations are similar to other members of the cardinal family."
