Great capture Tom,beautiful,congrats and thanks for sharing

Beautiful!

Debbie, this was at Asa Wright where I saw the Tufted Coquette's. I got just one Ruby Topaz and that was on Tobago. I think they were just starting to come back.

It wasnt at Asa Wright's then? I think we went the wrong time of year as we missed the ruby Topaz too! good excuse to go back ha ha

lovely captures :)

Thanks Karen!

Awesome capture Tom!

Thanks Debbie! I was lucky, there were several of these males around the lodge. One even flew inside the screened part of the porch and had to be let out.

Amazing capture Tom, these little guys go so fast and are so tiny. you were very lucky to see the male with his gorgeous crest, I only saw the female:
