Excellent shot, and sharp as a tack. That pose is great for the close-up shot you got.

Ed it is not only about the perch, techs etc. Sometimes seeing species we have never seen is just amazing. The Blue Dacnis is one of them. A great sighting my friend.

Archibald wrote in post #18715265
Very nice, and I've never heard of a blue dacnis.

Wow, what amazing blue color.

Thanks Rob and everyone. I knew about these birds but have not seen one on multiple trips to CR. I was in someone's back yard when it showed up briefly. Just amazing.

Forget the perch. You found gold. How many people have seen one?????????

That's pretty much how I felt.
