Thanks for the comments;

These were very challenging conditions for me to shoot in. It was about to rain and was pretty dark, no flash. This is where a newer model that can better handle high ISO sure would come in handy (or the 70-200 2.8 IS).

Here a few more from the area:

Anyone have an ID for me on this one?

And here are a few from Lagarta Lodge, located in Nosara:

Very nice series. My favorite would be the first one. Looks almost like it has dragon scales :). But the rest are just as good.

The first set of shots were from Monteverde National Park in Costa Rica.

The last two are from Nosara, also in Costa Rica.

I thought you shot these in Texas, so the ID changes..its a White Throated Mountain Gem?
