Costa Rica is home to 52 or so species of hummingbird - dwarfing the 2 we see at home on Vancouver Island. The array of colours and displays is also bewildering. The Violet Sabrewing is one of the largest species, found darting between drenched vegetation in the high altitude cloud forest region around Monteverde and the Cerro de la Muerte. I missed photographing this species on our last trip to Central America, so I was thrilled to see this individual. @monteverdebirding @monteverde_cr @descubrecostarica @visit_costarica #hummingbird #avian #avefauna #hummingbirdsofinstagram #violet #violetsabrewing #birds #birdsofcostarica #costarica #CR #centroamerica #puravida #wild #wildlife #monteverde #wildlifephotography #nature #jungle #rainforestanimals #rainforest #cloudforest #forest #intense #purple #bokeh #saveourforests #chrismilliganphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CeAMNCkrct1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
