    Congratulations Melvin Grey
    Male Tufted Coquette, Trinidad

    This tiny character was one of several species of hummingbirds I managed to photogragh in Trinidad. This was my first trip to a tropical rainforest area and my first encounter with hummingbirds - I am now hooked!!!!
    Linda's book was a great incentive and I will be posting some of my flight images for your opinions.

    Canon 1D Mk111 with 500mm f4 plus TC2. Fill flash with Better Beamer @ -2 1/3. ISO 800 Exp. 1/125 @ f10
