Canivet’s Emerald

Another “uncommon” bird found only in Central America from Eastern Mexico to Western Costa Rica, the Canivet’s Emerald, Cynanthus canivetii (eBird link) with some of my other earlier garden shots in my Canivet’s Emerald Gallery. I mostly get females (white chest) while in my first year I had a male (green chest). And for my Costa Rica readers, this species appears only on the Pacific Slope, while in Mexico to Honduras it is only on the Caribbean Slope. 🙂 Here’s three shots from yesterday in my garden . . .

¡Pura Vida!

Still windy with few birds and butterflies for me to photograph. 🙂
