50 types of these birds live or breed in the tropical lowlands and cloud
forests of Costa Rica, where arboreal vipers also live amid the thick foliage.
This remarkable photograph of a hummingbird confronting a pit viper has gained
him an enormous amount of attention. The vivid colors were produced by cleverly
utilizing flashes and something that is hard to master, but is no problem for
Bence.
