Dominican Republic Hummingbirds

Hummingbird was a lifer for me and after going Mexico last year with no luck I was more than happy to see one on the first day
After that every day but then trying to photograph them was a altogether not so easy
But sure was fun trying 


Starting off with a Vervain Hummingbird which is the second smallest bird in the world
And it was a tiny 60mm



I think this is a Hispaniolan Hummingbird and nearly twice the size at 10cm









Antillean Mango I think and bigger still a 13cm
 Look at the projection on them wings
No wonder they can fly backwards
