Blue-throated Goldentail (Hylocharis eliciae)

As opposed to finding hummingbirds at flowering bushes or feeders, this species is typically encountered because of their near constant singing from exposed twigs. Although that might sound easy, they can be difficult to pinpoint and see because they often change perches. It took me at least half an hour to actually see this bird.
