Ah, this brings me back lovely memories of the Costa Rica mountains and their amazing variety of glorious Hummingbirds... there I becomed a "Hummmingbird Lover", you know! ;) Thanks a lot for sharing this beauty!!! :t: :t: :t:
 
Nice shot, welcome to Birdforum.Net, look forward to seeing more from you.
 
These guys are very rarely photographed, great shot, well done.

If you have more hummers please post them and make myself and Marian very happy! ;) :t::t::t:
 
Sorry for the late reply everyone. I got distracted by a local Christmas Bird count. Thanks for all the nice comments. That photo was taken by my wife, Liz. We are finding photographing birds almost as much fun as watching them. I'll post a few more in the next couple of days.
