Rufous-crested Coquette Photography
The Rufous-crested Coquette is one of the smallest and most striking hummingbirds a NaturesLens guest can hope to photograph, its fiery crest and delicate proportions demanding patience, a fast shutter and a good eye for light at the feeders. Getting close, sharp images of a bird this size and speed is a genuine challenge, and it's exactly the kind of subject NaturesLens builds an itinerary around, working with experienced local guides who know where the birds are reliably active.
