at rest

i am not sure what type of hummingbird this is

does anyone know.

it is exceptionally large with a

curved beak 

totally green with a blue chest and the tail feathers

underneath are a rust red.

i thought at first this one was roosting on a nest

but once i zoomed in i saw it was just sitting 

on a branch.

(he was about 25 ft away)

i would love to have a nesting hummer near by.

for those who have been following our time in roatan

i think mr. fluffybutt showed up today.

he is small, sold green and very friendly.

one came and sat on the branch and i called out 

hey mr. fluffybutt is that you?

and he flew directly to my face 

and then flew away.

emily was out there at the time 

and she laughed and laughed

saying 'do you think it is your bird?'

i said i do.

then emily said

mom are you going to cry?

i did.

tears of joy.

i hope he comes back

because he was so friendly.
