Costa Rica is beautiful (or at least the pictures i've seen) Jerry. I'd heard that they'd done a pretty good job with ecotourism too. Zipline through the jungle anyone?

Hi BR
Well, it's close enough to midnight right now to suit me, heheh.
Those are nice pics, Kat. The mother let you get that close to take the pics, or did you use a telephoto lens ??
I have no doubt, Chris, but I don't like that the people there collect and sell sea turtle eggs. What's going to be their excuse, when the sea turtle are extinct ???
i hear you Jerry- i hadn't heard that part of it. I'm so used to seeing sea turtle eggs protected, and the hatching as a big event with all the baby turtles helped to get safely to the water
This is another interesting thing about hummers--once the babies can regulate their body temperature, the mother flies away and the nest looks abandoned. I actually thought the baby was dead, for a couple of days, because it wouldn't move and its eyes were closed shut... Turns out the mother doesn't want to attract predators; she just zooms by very quickly to feed the chick and off she goes. Most of the time the nest is (looks) unattended. We can watch it all we want...
That's amazing Kat. I had a Phoebe nest right over my garage door, a couple of years ago. I hated going in the garage, because every time I did it disturbed the mother, but I really had no choice.
Katya, you know a lot about birds. IDK anything about birds, and I with fruit trees in my yard, I have a LOT of hummingbirds constantly in my trees when there are blossoms. Not now though, all blossoms gone and hundreds of nectarines and peaches.
goodnight Jane

A horse drinking wine, lol. You found a way to get a horse into your avi, Kat. Well done. 
I don't know much, but I've been learning about hummers since they built their first nest on our front porch 3 years ago...
