This picture was taken in Costa Rico in December, 2014. 'Not sure the kind of birds but I thought they looked like they were negotiating ownership of the banana.

Fantastic shot. If I'm not mistaken the two birds are as follows:

- Golden-hooded tanager (external link)
- Red-legged honeycreeper (external link)

No idea on the bird identities, but it is a really neat shot. At first I didn't realize that they were actually on a banana!

The one on the right looks kind of like a bee eater but I'm no expert. Especially on foreign birds.
Well done shot!
