OH MY OH MY OH MY!!! Along with the Violet Sabrewing, I think this is my favourite of the regular Hummers seen in Costa Rica: the show of seeing the bright green body with white undertail and reddish wings "zigzagging" around is glorious!!! o:) Thank you for sharing your lovely picture of this smasher, Steve!!! :t: :t: :clap:
 
Wonderful shot of this beautiful Male, Steve.

Please post more of these amazing Hummers :t::t::t:
Ms. Alvarez will get her Sabrewing;)
