Expedition: Flower searching at Parque Nacional Yaxha Nakum Naranjo

FLAAR Mesoamerica’s expedition team returned to Parque Nacional Yaxha Nakum Naranjo looking forward to shoot borning flowers since several plants are borning between March and May. During a long walk through Yaxha, we found habin, bromelia, pucte, among others. We could also observe several birds like hummingbirds drinking nectar from some flowers, woodpeckers climbing the trees, and birds singing nicely on the road.

There is a hummingbird in the photo flying to drink the nectar of a bromeliad.

This photograph was taken in Yaxha park with Canon EOS-1D Xmark II, lens Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM; settings: f/2,8, speed 1/1250
