Black-and-Yellow Tanager Pair (Chrysothlypis chrysomelas)
The Black-and-Yellow Tanager (Chrysothlypis chrysomelas) is endemic to highland areas on the Caribbean slopes of Costa Rica and Panama. A small tanager in comparison to other species in the similar elevation, it can be commonly found in mixed feeding flocks on the edges of pre-montane forest habitat.

Sean has captured over thirty species of hummingbirds but this is now his favorite: the Black-crested Coquette (Lophornis helenae). It is about the size of a large bee, and it flies like one!
