Since there are so many photos, I am breaking this up into separate posts.  There are other posts for  information on how to get to Costa Rica & Laguna del Lagarto.

Bird List of Laguna del Lagarto

These spectacular little birds are often called “flying jewels” because of their brilliant irridescent colouring.   Unfortunately I lost the checklist I made with the help of the guides at Laguna del Lagarto so this is from memory as to which hummingbirds I saw.  The ones at the lodge were Rufous-tailed Hummingbirds.  The ones at Adolfo’s home garden (feeders) are highlighted in yellow to the best of my memory.  If I find the checklist, I will come back to this post and update it.  Humming birds are slightly easier to photograph than parrots because they are at least closer.  But they sure are fast!
