Berylline Hummingbird (Amazilia beryllina) - Portal, AZ
It was a thrill to see this exceptionally rare hummingbird in Portal. They breed and are typically in Mexico. I wore a red shirt and it attracted it. He buzzed and perched right by my face allowing me to capture these shots. Note the beautiful iridescence of this bird and his purple and red tail. This was a lifer for me and magical experience with this bird.
There are currently two of them together in Portal but I only saw one.
