Blue-throated Sapphire (Hylocharis eliciae)

Posted on Jan 12, 2016

Here we see a Blue-throated Sapphire (Hylocharis eliciae) going in to investigate a flower to feed on. This common dry forest species of the pacific side of Costa Rica is always a gorgeous bird to encounter. Photographed by RTPI Affilate Sean Graesser for the Meet Your Neighbours global biodiversity project in Costa Rica while on assignment for the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History.
