Wednesday morning just before 6 am I went out on the terrace to open the gate for my maid an saw this unusual sight, a Pale or Yellow-fronted Owl-Butterfly, Caligo telamonius (linked to my gallery) eating from the Hummingbird feeder. Got my camera and a few shots before he flew away! 🙂 The sun was coming up behind some clouds, so not a lot of light, thus the photo below with fast shutter speed in the dim light is not very sharp and has a glare, while the feature photo at top of post was made with the flash turned on and I think it’s a better photo. I don’t remember ever seeing a butterfly at a hummingbird feeder before, but then there are a lot of things I don’t remember! 🙂
¡Pura Vida!
Over the years I have had a few butterflies at my hummingbird feeder up here in Atkinson New Hampshire. Still enjoying your posts Charlie!
Thanks Dan! I’m glad to know that it is not so highly unusual! I probably don’t see it much because I have a lot of flowers which most of them probably prefer over sugar water. 🙂 And thanks for reading my blog! It is the center of my retirement life here in Costa Rica! With both focused on nature! 🙂
