Today is our last day in Costa Rica this trip. We went up to La Paz waterfall gardens, basically to sit around and look at hummingbirds. I should have brought a sweater, and ended up getting a sweatshirt at the shop there. It was not as good as my sweater but it was better than nothing - it was chilly and raining all day! However the hummingbird feeders were well worth it. We trekked down there and stayed in a little rain shelter next to a feeder as the hummingbirds buzzed all around us. It was amazing! I have officially given up on identifying them all. If anyone wants to take a shot at it, feel free!

I think your mystery hummer is either a black-bellied hummingbird or a stripe-tailed hummingbird... (pg. 132 in Garrigues) - Glenn
