Todays Hummingbirds & A New Arrival

[Bryan Pereira]

A bit of an overcast day so not the ideal conditions but got these shots, especially happy with the Planalto as you dont see the wonderful tail with a side on shot
Green-throated carib (colorful hummingbird)
Planalto Hermit (Brown with black and white tail)
The last one was really tiny im not sure could be the carib too

This bird looks amazing. Very beautiful with that tail and photographed exactly right, as you say. Great job on that.

What is that pink thready plant, do you know, Bryan?

Calliandra surinamensis

Thanks!

I looked that up and in Dutch it is called "Surinaamse poederdons" (Surinam powder puff). In English "Dixie Pink". Great names both.
