I'd really appreciate some help in identifying the birds in the photos below, mainly as a result of poor quality record shots. I've split over 3 posts by location. The rest of my decent photos from the trip are here Birds - Costa Rica - Feb 2022 and if you happen to visit, please let me know if I got any wrong !
Thanks
Tony
The first batch are from Carara NP, near Tarcoles.
1 - Not sure - warbler ?
2&3 - a hummingbird. Did not get any decent shots but looks like a bluish/greenish back and a very long shape with thin tail when flying. Can it be identified from these limited photos ?
4 - looks like a female manikin ? However none in my book have a red chin/bib ?? Is that a fleck of blue just appearing on the cap...maybe an immature ? My guide was baffled and couldn't identify !
