"This [Costa Rica Birds photo tour] is truly a great workshop. You learn at least 3 photo techniques that are not usually used: multiple flash set-ups to arrest wings of hummingbirds, night shots of bats in flight, flashlight for red eyes frogs (instead of using flash)—and you get the opportunity to photograph the quetzal—the bird of Central America."
