Copper-rumped Hummingbird (Amazilia tobaci) feeding on wild sage

The copper-rumped Hummingbird (Amazilia tobaci) is a common hummingbird here in Tobago and can be found abundantly in suburban areas, but it is always nice when one captures them in the countryside, this hummingbird was visiting a patch of wild sage, it's beak tipped with bright yellow pollen from the dainty flowers

Migrant shorebirds - Sanderlings (Calidris alba) in Trinidad & Tobago

Migrant shorebirds I find to be delightful, really enjoy photographing them and just being around them. Shorebirds such as the Sanderling generally work their way down the East coast of America, those that land up in Tobago mostly make the flight in single leg, some however stop over in the Lesser Antilles. Sanderlings are often seen in small groups here and quite a large number appear to move with loose flocks of various other shorebirds such as Ruddy Turnstones, Black bellied plovers and of course other Sandpipers.

White-fringed Antwren (Formicivora grissa)

These beautiful antwrens are best found in light woodland tending not to enter suburban areas as frequently as other small passerines. Males are black all over while as this beauty shows females have light plumage from lower face to under belly,
