Tiny as a butterfly (Amazilia candida)

This tiny little bird was flitting from one flower to another at quite a height. Was photographing to get an ID, but I was lucky to get a decent shot. So many more hummingbirds to see.

In case my ID is wrong, please let me know.

Oh Sandeep this is just beautiful!!!

For a 'record' shot that is absolutely terrific my friend. Many thanks for letting us see it.

I hope you had a good time over the holidays and what great news this morning about the new vaccine being approved.
