The Shinning Honeycreeper was third species of honeycreeper we photographed at the Laguna del Lagarto Lodge in northern Costa Rica. The species is common and ranges from southernmost Mexico barely into Colombia. Like the other honeycreepers, these birds feed on fruit, insects, and nectar. The first photo is of a female, the second is a male. Note that rain is falling in both photos. I don’t recall rain, except for one day, in Costa Rica, even though we were traveling in the wet season. I must have been too busy chasing birds and dragonflies.
