Chris: This is a fabulous capture. After finally getting time down there, I will never look at hummingbirds the same way again. Great job bringing out the colours in tricky lighting.

Toronto - I returned to see this rare overwintering male before it heads north. Shooting conditions were much better than on New Year's Day, with no heat shimmer and moderate wind. The bird also came closer one time during my four-hour stay.
