This was taken in Costa rica in the gardens of Sevegre. It was taken in natural light with no flash used. This particular species is quite brilliant and has a purple ear. Thus it is called The green violet ear.

A hummingbird flying in Los Angeles a couple months ago.
(I'm sick today, so can't go out and take photos in the rain... instead lying around at home reading and sorting out old photos and hoping my sore throat improves.)
It was nice to see an Anna's Hummingbird at Willband CreeK Park this morning. The ones that visit my feeder have been gone for a while and I only get the occasional Rufous visiting now.
I did not expect to photograph a hummingbird while walking around the grounds of the La Brea Tar Pits Museum in Los Angeles. I had my Z8 with me but only the 24-120 f/4, which is of course much too short for birds. Except when the bird lets you get really close.
The hummingbird's beak is just a protective sheath for its tongue, which is actually what the hummingbird is using to get the nectar out of the flower.
Best to be viewed in large size format.

(Calypte anna) - Anna's Hummingbird
Anna’s Hummingbirds are among the most common hummingbirds along the Pacific Coast, yet they're anything but common in appearance. With their iridescent emerald feathers and sparkling rose-pink throats, they are more like flying jewelry than birds. Though no larger than a ping-pong ball and no heavier than a nickel, Anna’s Hummingbirds make a strong impression. In their thrilling courtship displays, males climb up to 130 feet into the air and then swoop to the ground with a curious burst of noise that they produce through their tail feathers.

I really love this bird, it seems like my friend, we were getting closer and closer. Photo capture on 400.o mm without crop.
The bird breeds in mountains from the southwestern United States to western Panama. It inhabits the edges and clearings of montane oak forests from about 2000 m altitude up to the timberline. The oldest recorded Magnificent Hummingbird was a male, and at least 11 years old when he was recaptured and rereleased during banding operations in Arizona.
One from a few years ago at the Wakanki orquidiario that I've only just discovered. I don't have an id for this bird so any help appreciated. :)
Panterpe insignis
The Fiery-throated Hummingbird is one of my favorite Costa Rican hummingbirds so I always end up taking a ton of photos of them whenever I get the chance. I find them to be somewhat challenging to photograph since they never seem to stay in one place for very long and it is even more challenging to get a shot of their beautiful gorget flash. In this photo you can see just a little of the colors that are possible.
