For a country roughly the size of the US state of West Virginia, Costa Rica seriously punches above its weight when it comes to birdy-ness. Hummingbirds are a great example of this diversity. Of all 300+ species of hummingbirds, more than 50 have been recorded in this beautiful country.
In ideal conditions hummingbirds can be quite readily identified - but these little buggers do their best to ensure that conditions are rarely ideal. They're small, they're often refusing to remain still, and even when they don't move light and weather conditions can make identification quite difficult.
In this new video series, we're exploring Costa Rica's hummingbirds of the North Pacific region.
