Tangara larvata

I’m a sucker for tanagers so it was pretty exciting for me to get some nice photo opps with this Golden-hooded Tanager this past October in Costa Rica Most of the time when I see these birds they are in the canopy so getting a nearly eye-level shot is special. They are very active feeders and definitely require some speed on the part of the photographer.
