Taken at the Hotel Bougainvillea, San Jose, Costa Rica. Canon R5/Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM
Shortly before our photo workshop started, I heard a group of birds in a tree at the front of the hotel property. I grabbed my camera to see what was making the noise. It turns out there were a group of five or six green birds moving around the tree eating. Quickly I alerted Andrea and I took off for the lobby and out the door into the parking area in front of the hotel to get a better view. Andrea joined me a few minutes later and for the next 20 minutes or so, we both stood there photographing the birds and they moved through the tree.
After getting back to the room, I processed one of the pictures and sent it to our Costa Rican naturalist friend Johan to ID the bird. He let us know that it's a crimson-fronted parakeet.
