White-necked Jacobin at the feeders at the Lodge at Pico Bonito<\/p><\/div>\n

I was really hoping for a sunny afternoon at the Lodge at Pico Bonito in Honduras when, during our siesta time, I could just sit on the porch at the Lodge at Pico Bonito and photograph the hummingbirds coming to the feeders. There were at least a half dozen species. As it was, we only had one afternoon like that…our first…the rest of the days\u00a0the rain-forest cloud cover had moved in by noon. Just the way it happened on our week there.<\/p>\n

This is a White-necked Jacobin, one of the more common hummers at the Lodge feeders. A medium sized hummingbird, it is certainly an eye-full.<\/p>\n

Except for the perched shot, these are all Sports Mode on the Sony HX400V at about 470mm equivalent field of view and 1\/400th. I was fairly close to the action. The perched bird was further away. Shot at 1200mm equivalent @ 1\/250th @ ISO 200. Processed in Lightroom and assembled in Phototastic on my Surface Pro 3 tablet.<\/p>\n

Next trip maybe I will get more sunny afternoons!<\/p>\n
