This brightly-colored species was enjoyed

the home of the late naturalist Alexander Skutch,
during the FONT tour there in March 2010. 

With as bright a blue as the above honeycreeper,
a male Blue Dacnis





With blue and yellow, 
a Yellow-crowned Euphonia

Olive-backed Euphonia

A male Flame-colored Tanager

Fiery-throated Hummingbird

With this much color on one bird,
imagine how much when 6 or more of them 
are together! 




Even a sparrow or two in Costa Rica
is boldly patterned and with bright color.
This is a White-eared Ground Sparrow.





And lastly here,
one of the most famous of Costa Rica's many birds,
the Resplendent Quetzal 
in good light is brilliantly colored
