The Green-crowned Brilliant is abundant and easy to see in the Central Valley mountains. We photographed this juvenile in the mountains that surround San José.

The juvenile Green-crowned Brilliant Hummingbird has a buff coloration that he gradually looses as his feathers molt into adult plumage.

It is a large hummingbird at about 5 inches. It ranges from Southwestern US to Panama, but the large form found in Costa Rica and Panama is sometimes considered a separate species. 

Prints have a one inch white border that includes the artist's signature and image number.

Mats are dark grey with a thin white reveal. They include the image number and artist's signature. Frames are mat black aluminum.
