for this #TongueOutTuesday let's celebrate the sassy Rufous-tailed Hummingbird which refuses to be overlooked over a wide range of Central and northern South America! i have photo'd 50 species of hummingbirds, this is one of the most accessible to practice on #BirdsOfMastodon #Bird #Hummingbird #BirdPhotography #Photograph #Silly

i have photo'd 50 species of hummingbird but for #Fotomontag #PhotoMonday i'd like to address the issue of how sometimes you can only get a bad photo like this guy, we had ONE place where we could see Royal Sunangel but birb didn't show up until the glare of high noon with pollen on the head (not a gold crown) with rare birds sometimes a bad photo is better than no photo tho ... #BirdsOfMastodon #Bird #Hummingbird #Photography #BirdPhotography #PostProcessing #Birding #Endangered #Rare #Peru
