I saw the first sighting of a mature male on Tuesday, October 11th. This year's arrival is earlier than our average arrival date of October 21st.

We are located in Bagaces, Guanacaste in the foothills of the Miravalles Volcano. The hummingbirds usually arrive here at one of the wettest times of the year, but weather is warm. Daytime temps are typically in the high 80's or low 90's. Nights are 10-15 cooler.

I captured last year's first arrival in this photo on October 24, 2015.
