Beautiful
Very nice hummingbird photos! I need to get some Costa Rican species into the hummingbird taxonomy. Once I do I'll move these there.

Are the Talamanca Mountains near Talamanca? If so, according to Wikipedia, that would be in the province of Limón, so you could narrow down your location when posting.

By the way, make sure you enter 2007 for the year, unlike the 07 we use on BugGuide.

Thanks for the date tip.
Also, I did some googling, it is near the eastern edge of the San Jose province. Thanks for the help.
