Mellisuga minima
Hummingbird, Green, Black, Grey, (Not swallowtail)
In the lower and mid-hanging branches of tall trees (far as I can tell).
This particular bird was the most aggressive hummingbird I've ever seen, It didn't bother humans, but it went wild with fury any-time a lizard came within staring distance of it's nest. It would hover loudly over them until they left. During the short time I was watching it it had rushed away about 3 different lizards from both it's nesting tree and trees nearby
