White-vented Plumeleteer

White-vented Plumeleteer: Canopy Tower, Panama, July 2022 — Another hummingbird from the courtyard at Canopy Tower, and another new bird for me on this trip. I have seen the Bronze-tailed Plumeleteer in Costa Rica, but the White-vented does not get that far north, and in Panama is limited to the east haft of the country, from the Canal Zone to the Darian. The plumeleteer is a fairly large hummingbird, and the brilliant green certainly makes it stand out. My Panama Birds app has it as rare but also a species of least concern from a conservation standpoint. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications and multi-frame noise reduction. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. Equivalent ISO 3200 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
