Now that's a proper photo, quite an improvement on the one I'd gotten two years ago! This not such an easy hummer in Peru, I don't think I'd seen it since, but I was lucky to have a territorial individual visiting some lantana flowers just outside the cafeteria at the station. Posted one year ago

  So detailed we can even see the white chin. Hummingbird names are funny. Posted one year ago
