Flying like a bee and sporting the mane of a lion, this Black-crested Coquette (Lophornis helenae) was one of the most stunning hummingbirds to have up close and in the hand according to Sean. Photographed by RTPI Affiliate Sean Graesser in Costa Rica while on assignment for the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History.
