A male green violetear in the valley of San Gerardo in Costa Rica. The green violetear is a medium-sized, metallic green hummingbird with glittering violet ear-patches on the both sides of its neck. This humingbird generally prefers more humid and high-altitude areas (1200 to 2300m) such as cloud forests.

This brown booby was circling the area where we sailed in search of food. The boat was really bobbing up and down, and I wish I’d gotten a sharper image. Still, it’s a beautiful bird. I enjoy seeing stuff that I don’t get to see in Chicago.

While enjoying a beautiful sunset on Caye Caulker, Belize these pelicans came and perched themselves on what was left of a pier. It was like they knew exactly how to pose to get just the right shot!
