Black-crested Coquette (Costa Rica)

[Glenn Bartley]

Here's another one from my recent Costa Rica workshop. This was a BIG target bird for me. But you never know if they will be reliable or not. If there is a flowering tree in the area then forget it...they will be way up high. Thankfully this liitle fellow was regularly visiting this verbena bush and I was able to get a few frames that I am very happy with
