After several months of going out little and doing almost no photography, I have managed to return to my favorite place in Costa Rica, San Gerardo de Dota. This little paradise located in the mountains of the central south of the country, at more than 2000 meters above sea level.
I have previously published many images of this natural paradise, however, this time I had the opportunity to photograph a species that, although known, I had not been able to capture with my camera.
Flame-throated Warbler (Oreothlypis gutturalis) is a small bird of about 12 centimeters and can be seen alone jumping between branches, or together with several individuals forming mixed flocks.
Its main characteristic is the intense orange color on its chest, in addition to its slate gray color that it has on the feathers on its back and a small black mask on its eyes. The males and females of this species are almost identical.
It is a species that is only found in the high mountains between Panama and Costa Rica between 1400 and 2100 meters above sea level. It moves among the branches in search of worms, insects and spiders and tends to be a territorial species during the breeding season.

Después de varios meses de salir poco y hacer casi nada de fotografías, he logrado regresar a mi lugar favorito en Costa Rica, San Gerardo de Dota. Este peque paraíso ubicado en las montañas del centro sur del país, a más de 2000 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Ya anteriormente he publicado muchas imágenes de este paraíso natural, sin embargo, en esta ocasión tuve la oportunidad de fotografiar una especie que, aunque conocida, no había podido capturar con mi cámara.
La repinta garganta de fuego (Oreothlypis gutturalis) es una pequeña ave de unos 12 centímetros y se le puede ver solitario saltando entre ramas, o junto a varios individuos formando bandadas mixtas.
Su principal característica es el color anaranjado intenso en su pecho, además de su color gris pizarra que posee en las plumas de su espalda y una pequeña máscara negra en sus ojos. Los machos y las hembras de esta especie son casi idénticos.
Es una especie que solo se encuentra en las montañas altas entre Panamá y Costa Rica entre los 1400 y 2100 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Se desplaza entre las ramas en busca de gusanos, insectos y arañas y tiende a ser una especie territorial durante la época de reproducción.
