Blue-vented Hummingbird

This one with the bright blue tail is probably my second most common hummingbird this year after Rufous-tail, followed by Canivet’s Emerald which I photographed near the same time as this blue-vented, but the photos aren’t good enough to share. And you can see much better photos of this one in my gallery Blue-vented Hummingbird, Saucerottei hoffmanni OR Saucerrotia amazilia. Glad there are a few interesting birds as my butterflies are slacking off a little. Two so-so photos . . .

Blue-vented Hummingbird

Hoping he continues in my garden! And that maybe the Rufous-tailed has accepted this species, since he has been chasing other species off. I just love the brilliant blue of the tail of the Blue-vented Hummingbird, Saucerottei hoffmanni OR Saucerrotia amazilia (linked to my gallery).
