Red-billed Streamertail

Red-billed Streamertail (Trochilus polytmus)

The James Bond story For Your Eyes Only, starts with the line, "The most beautiful bird in Jamaica, and some say the most beautiful bird in the world, is the streamer-tail or doctor humming-bird."

This from a man who knew his birds.

And the real James Bond wrote the fieldguide the the birds of the area,where this bird is found(for those who didn't know how Fleming got the name for his 007).Besides that; we really love your capture of the two hummingbirds,especially the tiny one in flight.
