BTW I've recently discovered "Extraordinary Birder" on PBS, and thanks to your posting of these wonderful photos, I've been able to recognize some of these little guys like old friends! The latest episode I watched was based in Puerto Rico, and they are rich in hummingbirds!

'Birds of Puerto Rico' -

Christian Cooper treks into the lush rainforest to meet the bright, boisterous and iconic Puerto Rican Parrot before helping to release seven of them into the wild. Along the way, he kayaks through a bat-filled cave to find the adorable Puerto Rican Tody, climbs into the jungle to lay eyes on one of the worlds most mysterious birds behind a waterfall, and meets a young, deaf pelican on the ocean.

Did you see the (I think) first episode, Birds of NYC? Fascinating!
