One of the joys of photographing in Costa Rica is the constant flash of color moving through the trees. Tanagers, in particular, seem almost unreal—bright reds, blues, yellows, and greens appearing and disappearing in the forest light.
These images are a collection of those moments, each one capturing a different species and a different expression of color in the wild.
