We had a great morning birding Quebrada (including an epic canopy flock we followed for over an hour that included nice looks at a vocalizing Sharpbill). We had all the hummers you mentioned above at El Tapir (sans plumeleteer). The coquette's put on quite the show and the brief visit by a male snowcap is one i won't soon forget.

Yes, hope to meet you sometime as well. Poas has been really good as of late. Last Sunday morning, I heard one Slaty Finch again, had brief looks at flyover Barred Parakeets, great views of 4 quetzals, Black Guan, Black-thighed Grosbeak, and heard both Highland Tinamous and Buff-fronted Qauil-Doves. I'm headed back up that way tomorrow and looking forward to it! @Mark- Glad to hear that! Yes, hope to meet you sometime as well. Poas has been really good as of late.
