is now one of my three regular hummingbirds along with the Rufous-tailed and the Blue-vented that surf my Porterweed flowers all day along with an occasional other flower and my feeders when filled (not often). Their second favorite flower seems to be the Torch Ginger or Bastón de Emperador. Both of these shots are of a female (white chest and white eyebrow) while the male has no white and thus I could be confusing him with the blue-vented which are very much alike.
¡Pura Vida!

Please send these up the street. We only have Rufus hummingbirds. Yesterday in our fruit feeder we had 2 fiery aracaris and one in the tree. Also had a split second sighting of perhaps a macaw. However I will have to put that one in the file with “Bigfoot” sightings?
That’s good Steve! “Bigfoot” or not! You are still seeing more birds in your garden than me, especially the big ones like the Aracari and Macaw! I see more birds when I sit outside on my hillside bench early morning or late afternoon which maybe I’ll try to do more. But I’m happy with my many butterflies and 3 species of hummingbirds which are active when the sun is shining. 🙂
