One of the joys of the birding in the Americas is the fantastic family of Hummingbirds. They have amazing colours that almost glow in the tight light.
This is a male Golden-tailed Sapphire. A few visited the garden of a house we visited near Caracas. I was called, appropriately La Casa de Colibries (house of Hummingbirds). A short U-tube Video is here.
The White-necked Jacobin is a quite a large hummer, and although not so "glittering" it is a very striking bird.
The little Fork-tailed Woodnymph, approaching a feeder, shows how the colours light up in the right conditions.
When it was sitting quietly it was a much more a sober looking bird.
