OBSERVATION ANECDOTES
My private “Lifer” Rufous-tailed Hummingbird was close to Calakmul in Campeche MX, not removed from the Belize border. Since that first one, it has been probably the most generally seen hummingbird in my travels by way of Belize, Guatemala and Costa Rica. We actually noticed a minimum of one every single day and at each location in Costa Rica, from Rancho Naturalista to the Arenal Observatory and close to Sarapiqui.
