Blue-chested Hummingbird

Blue-chested Hummingbird: After my orientation and my welcome by the Red-lored Parrots from the top floor dinning area and lounge of the Canopy Tower, I went down to ground level to check on the hummingbirds I had glimpsed between the van and the door of the Tower on my way in. There were at least 5 species coming to the feeders they have out in the front courtyard. This is the Blue-chested Hummingbird, a new hummer for me on this trip. Blue-chested is an optimistic name for the species, as it it hard to see the blue…I see it as more of a light purple wash, and more of a bib than a chest orniment, in most light. Not as flashy as some hummers but still a beautiful bird. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 2000 and 1000 @ f4 @ 1/500th. Minus .3EV.
