No flash used here but this rare species turned out to be surprisingly cooperative on its gathering grounds so handheld photography worked out just fine... have some flying photos I can develop & post later but this is minimally processed to hurry up & show you my brag
"I'm a Marvelous Spatuletail and you're not"

Same Amethyst-throated Sunangel as before to show the amethyst flash when the bird flies at you head on

Here's a non-feeder using hummingbird that must be shot handheld-- I was surprised at how easy it was to spot this rarity within minutes of arriving on the garden where it was feeding
flying birds show off the pied tail that gives it the name Ecuadorian Piedtail, while perched birds sport an obvious Peter Pan collar

Some challenging bright light on a good subject. Our first photography session of the tour centered on a small flock of Yellow-tufted Woodpeckers. He was backlit but this male was fairly cooperative with me.
