Stripe-throated Hermit Hummingbird

Stripe-throated Hermit Hummingbird: Canopy Tower, Panama, July 2022 — The Stripe-throated Hermit is a hard hummingbird to photograph. They rarely perch, and when they do it is in deep cover well away from any feeders. I caught this one momentarily perched on a feeder in the courtyard of the Canopy Tower lodge in Panama. Though I don’t like, or often post, feeder shots, this shot is exceptional (at least among my shots) in that it shows this tiny hummer in all its fine detail. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications with multi-frame noise reduction. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. Equivalent ISO 5000 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
