White-crested Coquette (Lophornis adorabilis)

These guys love Porterweed (shown in photo) and back then there was a tall hedge of the stuff close by the Garden House observatory and Cafe. It was always full of a large variety of hummers. Never knew which way to look next.

Thanks Kits, they are a delightful bird to see up close. They can be fearless and have been known to buzz around ones face and person. They know where our faces are and will hover a handbreadths away making eye contact. Lots of fun!
