Taken at the Soda y Mirador Cinchona, Alajuela, Costa Rica. Canon R5/Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS II USM
While the focus at the soda was on the feeders and larger birds, there was also hummingbird feeders and multiple species of the little speed demons flying around. One of these was this violet saberwing. It is a larger species of hummer and is easy to identify with the stunning purple plumage. Catching them near the feeders was difficult at best since they were under cover and not well lit. But this male kept returning to a small branch, so to get a photo, all you had to do was wait for him to return.
