I’ve been a bird photographer for over 10 years and honored to share with you on this platform. Don’t be shy, follow and I’ll follow back 👣
Here’s a super cool bird that doesn’t come into the feeders but he flew by to see what all the fuss was about. This White-throated Thrush. I’m in love with the yellow bill and eye ring. Shot was taken at Canopy San Luis in Provincia de Alajuela, San Ramón, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Definitely one of my most favorite female species. This is the Scarlet-rumped Tanager. Something about that bright red eye is just extra captivating for me. I’m sure you’ll agree. Shot was taken at Canopy San Luis in Provincia de Alajuela, San Ramón, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

I probably took a 100 images of this Crimson-collared Tanager, but this one really spoke to me. Something really cool about that tail spread. I love when a bird isn’t afraid to show off in front of the camera ❤️ Shot was taken at Canopy San Luis in Provincia de Alajuela, San Ramón, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

This beautiful female Tawny-capped Euphonia was hiding behind all this lichen just waiting on her moment to attack the plantain at the feeders. Shot was taken at Canopy San Luis in Provincia de Alajuela, San Ramón, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

The most common bird at this set up was the Silver-throated Tanager, but none looked anything like this one. This one had a white eyering. A very unique discoloration compared to all others. Shot was taken at Canopy San Luis in Provincia de Alajuela, San Ramón, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

We’re now at an amazing place where the birds do not stop coming in. One of the BIGGEST and BRIGHTEST stars here is this Emerald Tanager. The most beautiful shade of green and yellows ever. Shot was taken at Canopy San Luis in Provincia de Alajuela, San Ramón, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

So main goal is to showcase as many species as possible from our trip to Costa Rica. 14 full whole days can get you a lot of goodies. I’ve been having a lot of fun showing off some of the more common species, like this Brown Jay. Shot was taken in Alajuela, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

This is 1 of 6 very cool motmots in Costa Rica. This is the Lessons Motmot. The birds tail feathers are the most distinctive feature. A really cool tail racket that you can see from a mile away. Shot was taken in Alajuela, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

We’ve been waiting around all morning to try and see a very elusive partridge, but they never showed. So instead we will photograph this Baltimore Oriole. We took advantage of every bird opportunity possible on this trip. Shot was taken in Alajuela, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Another neglected bird unfortunately 😅 but in this moment I’ve never seen so much light hitting a Melodious Blackbird that she almost looks extra blue with that velvety shiny sheen plumage 💙 first time posting this species. Shot was taken in Alajuela, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

So this Blue-vented Hummingbird was one of those species I always see, but so focused on other birds I tend to neglect them a wee bit 🥲 but not this time. I photographed this beauty every chance I got. Shot was taken in Alajuela, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

If you live anywhere in the Americas, this bird is no stranger to you. This is the gorgeous Summer Tanager. Always an amazing bird to bump into while in the field. Shot was taken in Alajuela, Costa Rica 🇨🇷 #birds

An extremely well put together sparrow. From its bold white facial patterns and bright yellow neck patch. This is the White-eared Ground-sparrow. We observed this bird and many more on just our first day. Shot was taken in Alajuela, Costa Rica 🇨🇷
