Field Notes

Description:

Also my last spotting of this hummingbird for now. Birds of this species kept its distance from the other more aggressive and territorial hummies in the area.
They are mostly resident of Central America although some migration to North America has also been reported. There are different subspecies and C. thalassinus cabanidis is the one resident in Costa Rica and Panama.

Habitat:

Paraiso Quetzal.

Que afortunada fuiste en tu viaje a Costa Rica Marta.
