    Glittering-bellied, female,2

    Not so exuberant as the male, but for me she has a beaty of it's own, with greens and blues here and there.

    Maybe the cloudy day combined with the flash and the ISO 160 made the hummingbird shine like this!

    Standing hummingbird

    This hummingbird was quietly resting on a branch, and let me approach without perceiving my presence. Despite of being a common hummer, it is one of my favorites.

    This male is resting a little, before it goes to suck the shrimp plants. It has a beautiful red bill, and in the chest there are blue and green feathers.

    This hummingbird, along with its female, loves this shrimp plant; they stayed there all afternoon!
