Snowcap Hummingbird

Costa Rica has over 50 hummingbird species - this Snowcap hummingbird is just 2.5 inches tall, making it one of the smallest in the world. It was exceedingly fast - so difficult to capture as it rarely rested for long. I love its subtle auburn colors set off by its brilliant white forehead.
