White-necked Jacobin

I sat for most of an hour in the little gazebo-like tower on the back of the Rio Santiago Nature Lodge,  in a chair at one of the tables, and photographed hummingbirds as they rested in the trees between me and the feeders. This is a White-necked Jacobin. You can just see the white patch at the nape of the neck that gives it its name. Besides being a portrait of the bird, I like the out of focus branches which provide a frame and a context for the bird.
