I finally made it back from Costa Rica. Wow, what a country! There was wildlife everywhere.
During in a brief pause between heavy showers I finally managed to snap this little guy in mid take off as he paused whizzing between flowers. Even at rest I saw his little chest heaving up and down. It’s no wonder he was tired, hummingbirds can beat their wings up to 3000 times a minute as they visit up to 1000 flowers in a day on loops.
I'll be posting more Costa Rica shots in the next few weeks so stay tuned!
