RTPI Affiliate Sean Graesser was recently going through some photos for a project and he found this one from last year in Costa Rica. This Black-crested Coquette (Lophornis helenae) was not amused by him in the slightest. It was his first time observing this species, let alone capturing it during mist netting to study hummingbirds, and it’s clearly one he loves. He says it is still probably his favorite capture – an amazing bird with such intricate plumage!
