Thanks all!
Alan, I'm coming from Bulgaria. I whent there in bad time: hot! Birds are hiding in deep shades, only feeding in open space early morning and late afternoon when the light is rather insufficient for APS-C sensor. Only in the high mountains (above 1800 up to 2500 meters) I met birds feeding at noon but I was there for just 4-5 hours.

Being ISO 12800 , I'm not thrilled but it's another variety I just discovered in my shots that I didn't know I had - Bronze-tailed Plumeleteer Hummingbird.

I think there are 12 varieties represented in my captures from Costa Rica, which contrasted with Canada, is mind boggling.

In fact, in just over two weeks shooting in Costa Rica I have ID'd over 80 birds. And now with my new computer build I have half a chance of getting through them all.:)

The Quetzal is extracted from a high ISO video, so likewise disappointing but it brings back a great memory.

Jack
