....This little fellow lives at high elevations in Costa Rica.
While Kevin was taking pictures of nesting quetzals, I hung around the feeder.
The bird’s favorite perch was below me, and looking down at him,
I noticed that the perspective made his long, slender bill all but disappear.
I had once found one of these hummingbirds on Volcan Poas that had flown into a plate glass window;
it died in my hand while I tried to keep it warm. So it was especially nice
to have close contact with a live one.
