O my goodness! Soo Amazing!

Awesome timing of that shot!

Thanks Pradeep.

Very beautiful!

Thanks Mona, it loved to show off its nice tail:-)

Very beautiful bird... Nice picture

Thanks Toucan!

Great capture! =)

Sounds fantastic but I'm not surprised it was expensive. Dominica was my first and only experience with traveling in the Caribbean, but it does seem like an expensive area.

Dan, Asa Wright was great, but on the expensive side for tropical travel. All around the large raised porch were hummingbird feeders and at ground level were a bunch of feeders loaded with fruit. You could sit out on the porch and see 50 species of birds, then walk the extensive trails for many more species including the Oilbirds in a cave on their property.

I see, so it wasn't the same trip as Dominica. I thought maybe you were traveling around the Caribbean, but I can see you've been multiple times. I just looked up Asa Wright, looks pretty cool. How was it?

Thanks Andrea, Dan and Lauren.
Dan, this trip was 4 days at Asa Wright in Trinidad, then 4 days on Tobago where I spotted this hummingbird.

Wow, what a shot with that tail! Nice series.

Woah! Amazing Tom! Were you on a Caribbean tour?

Beautiful photograph with its tail feathers fanned out.

Thanks Backyardphotographer

Thanks Patty!

Wonderful humming bird and picture Tom =)

Thanks Leuba, I take tons of shots and sometimes things work just right:-)

How do you manage to get such fantastic shots - a real treat !. Like I mentioned earlier, if these creatures could only see your photos of themselves!!.
Thanks for sharing this..

Thanks Gerardo, I wish there were hummers like this where I live!

Awesome stunning Tom :)

Thanks EnvUnlimited, I didn't know which pic to put first, the tail fan or the raised crest.
