Chrysolampis mosquitus
We saw many Ruby Topaz hummingbirds during our Trinidad trip but I never got tired of photographing them. The colors are so beautiful that I am excited to go back and spend more time with them even after having taken hundreds of photos.

These Scarlet Ibis were photographed during a trip to Trinidad. At the time I was a little frustrated that we weren’t able to get any close-up photos of these spectacular birds but after having a chance to look through the images we did get I have a much greater appreciation for the experience. It is situations like this that make me glad I take photos.

We just got home from a great visit to Trinidad with lots of beautiful birds. This White-chested Emerald was one of many birds that were hanging around outside of our room at the Asa Wright Nature Center.

This White-necked Jacobin was one of many hummingbirds that we photographed during our trip to Trinidad this month. Apparently the name Jacobin comes from its hooded appearance that resembled the hoods of Dominican friars which were known as Jacobins. In any case they are quite striking birds.
