Have a splash of green! This phenomenal photo of a Green-crowned Brilliant (Heliodoxa jacula) was taken last year outside Monteverde in Costa Rica by RTPI Affiliate Sean Graesser. Even more jealousy-invoking was Sean’s note that he was using a 100mm lens for this photo of a juvenile male with birds pausing so close to their visitors. Sean is off to Costa Rica this week and we wish him a safe, wonderful and fantastic journey as he continues some important tropical research and conservation. Lucky for us he will be sharing photos, videos and accounts of his work throughout the winter, and we will be posting them for you here and on our website!
