Coppery-headed Emerald Hummingbird(male)

Elvira cupreiceps

Description:

Endemic to Costa Rica, it feeds at all levels in mature wet montane forest and forest edges. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppery-hea...

Notes:

I shot this at Selvatura Park, Monteverde Cloud Forest Hummingbird Garden. The challenge with capturing these guys is that they are so fast, if you are luck enough to get a shot the results are magnificent.
