Wild Hummingbirds on Wild Flowers

Rufous-tailed Hummingbird feeding on a Red Button Ginger Flower (Costus woodsonii) that grows wild only in Costa Rica, Panama & Colombia! 🙂

Because of some pains that make walking difficult, I’m limiting myself to short walks down the beach road (one lane, dirt) and of course the hotel gardens instead of longer hikes in the nearby national park and separate wildlife refuge. I’m up to 15 species of birds now, just right here! And I don’t know how many butterflies because I haven’t processed those photos from today, but know that I got some new ones again! One of the beach road joys is watching wild hummingbirds – they are all wild, including those in my garden at home! 🙂 And like at home, the Rufous-tailed seems to be the dominant hummingbird here too! 🙂 Here’s just two shots for now and more will be in the trip gallery later.

  1. I’m so happy you are having a good time and finding so much to photograph! I always love your pictures of hummingbirds as they show so much detail. Our hummingbirds are just starting to leave to migrate to Central America. Maybe some from here will show up in your garden this winter!

    1. Thanks Bonnie! And we never know where migrants come from, but I understand that some come from as far as Canada! 🙂 Tell Tom that my neuropathy is bringing more pain now and is one of about three reasons I’m hiking less! 🙂
