  1. I'm back! Still a lot of photos from previous trips to upload but I had a few hummer photos ready to go, so I figured I'd upload them here and give signs of life! Posted 7 years ago

      1. Yup, Colombia was terrific as always! This was actually my first trip there seriously birding, and it was great! Posted 7 years ago
        1. Looking forward to what you found. Colombia will soon be one of the best described countries on the platform lol. Posted 7 years ago
          1. Haha that's possible! It was mostly birds this time. But I'm far from done uploading photos from Mexico and Central America, and then there's still Sao Tomé after that! Posted 7 years ago
            1. That sounds very promising! Posted 7 years ago

The green thorntail is a small hummingbird that is a resident breeder from Costa Rica to western Ecuador. It occurs at middle elevations from 700–1400 m but may descend lower early in the wet season. In Costa Rica and Panama it is confined to the Caribbean slopes.
