This hummingbird was quietly resting on a branch, and let me approach without perceiving my presence. Despite of being a common hummer, it is one of my favorites.
This male is resting a little, before it goes to suck the shrimp plants. It has a beautiful red bill, and in the chest there are blue and green feathers.
Male on the left; female on the right which differs from the male in having a white streak behind the eye, whitish throat and breast, pale grey tips to the tail and a longer area of black on the bill.
