OK, I know it's a bit "fuzzy", but I never got a chance to go to the feeders with the camera in the best light conditions! Snowcap (like this male) is undoubtedly the star bird of Rancho Naturalista where we stayed for three nights. Despite a rather unfavourable report on the web of late we found the birding at Rancho great and the accommodation, service and food very good indeed. Other good birds at this site included Tawny-throated Leaftosser, Lattice-tailed Trogon, Black-crested Coquette, White-ruffed Manakin, Scaly-breasted Wren and Yellow-throated Warbler (apparently a good "Rancho Record").
