A hovering hummingbird is aggressively flashing his colors -- green on the head with an iridescent deep violet belly. His bill is open as if scolding. And his wings are blurred while he pumps to hold position.  The background is the blurred green of the nearby forest. This infuriated birb is the male Violet-bellied Hummingbird.

"many people have said i'm the best hummingbird, & i must modestly admit it's probably true... all the best hummingbirds have puffs" -- emerald-bellied puffleg

A shimmering emerald-colored hummingbird with puffs on the thighs is hovering beneath the bright reddish orange of a Japanese lantern flower. The blurred-out background is shades of green.  This is the Emerald-bellied Puffleg, one of the stars of Owlet Lodge, Peru. Photo by Peachfront. November 2024.

Seeing more of these male ruby-throated #hummimgbirds around, I guess the seasonal migration has begun or is just about to.

Against a blurred out green garden hangs a Chinese lantern flower. A hummingbird has approached the flower in the direction of the viewer and is now hovering to drink from the flower with wide open wings so that the entire underside of the bird faces the viewer. The throat gorget is flashing a brilliant purple. This is the Amethyst-throated Sunangel in the gardens of Owlet Lodge in Peru. Photo by Peachfront. November 2024.

"Ta Dah, I have arrived & your life now has meaning!"-- Blue-chested Hummingbird

#bird #Birds #birding #hummingbird #HummingbirdPhotography #BIrdInFlightPhotography #BirdPhotography #PhotoMonday

A perky hummingbird is flying toward the viewer at an angle that allows borb's head to flash bright green while the upper breast to flashes violet. The wings are open as if to make an announcement. This is the somewhat poorly named Blue-chested Hummingbird. Canopy Tower. Panama. Photo by Peachfront.

Never seen a Black-throated Mango quite like this. Is this really how they molt, or is she a partial leucistic/pied individual?

A photo of a hummingbird hovering to feed from a pink mimosa plant. The hummingbird has snow-white underparts separated by a thick black line, making her easily identifiable as a female Black-throated Mango. However, her green upperparts are heavily splotched with random snow-white patches. The background is the blurred pink and green of the garden where she is feeding. Canopy Camp, Darien, Panama.

the answer to Name That Hummingbird is now revealed (if you know the hummingbird already, this final image probably cinches your guess)

White-vented Plumeleteer!!!!!

#Hummingbird #HummingbirdID #HummingbirdPhotography #Bird #Birds #Birding #BirdsOfMastodon #BirdPhotography

A tall shiny green hummingbird sits with "angel wings" displaying on a perch at a slight tilt to show not just teeny tiny hummingbird feet but the triangle of snow white vent feathers neatly marked off by the black underside of the tail. This is the White-vented Plumeleteer. Canopy Tower, Panama. April 2025. Photo by PEachfront.

Name That Hummingbird! Clue 1: This is a tough ID challenge because many hummingbirds look like this from this angle, but feel free to launch your best guess at me. I'll post the answer in a few hours. Clue 2: Soberania / Canal / Central Panama (specifically Canopy Tower resort)

A long glittering green hummingbird sits in profile on a branch. The green forest behind is completely blurred out into smoothness.  I will name this hummingbird later after folks have had a chance to guess. Canopy Tower, Panama. April 2025. Photo by Peachfront

not a very far distance to "throw back," just to April, truth is I can't remember if i already posted this one

i was doing all these handheld with a lot of "spray and pray," this one with the Nikkor Z 400mm 4.5

A small green hummingbird is flying as if to pass over the viewer's right shoulder (and I would say birb came close to doing just that, these guys are aggressive).  There is a determined glint in birb's eye as well as a noticeable violet flash in the lower throat/upper chest area. The green head is also glittery. The background is blurred out  in dull shades of green and brown which contrast nicely with all the hummingbird flash. This is the Blue-chested Hummingbird. Canopy Tower, Panama. April 2025.
