WOW Fabuloso capture!!! :clap: I love seeing hummingbirds from around the world, they are such gorgeous and amazing creatures!
They always give me something extra special to look forward to in springtime when "my" ruby throats come back!

Beautiful quality image of this very specialised feeder. What a treat to see! :t:
 
Super image of this stunning Hummer. :t: I am SO 'jealous' of your Hummer sightings. I need to go with you on your outings. Keep these great photos coming. Nice work !!
 
I wonder why it's called "Sword-billed"; so unusual for the name to match the appearance.|=)| Excellent plumage detail and colour, great BG too, well done Stanley.
