Talamanca Hummingbird male hovering in rain

            The Sierra de Talamanca of Costa Rica and Panama provides the home to this species, which at one time was considered a subspecies of the Magnificent Hummingbird (E. fulgens). This bird was hovering in a rain shower, not infrequent in its mountain habitat.
