Continue the best season for this little bird, i need wait many days, many hours searching and waiting the best place and moment for take this photo, for the perfect gorget we need the perfect sun ligth (i think flash not work the same), the perfect day hour (sun rising) and be very fast.
What a beautiful gorget this fellow has. Perfect amount of light to illuminate it. I love the tiny feet gripping the perch too. Exposure and details are good. I find the subject rather big and low in the frame, and the steep angle is not favorable (as opposed to eye-level). I would also have preferred less of a head turn to get a better view of the bill lenght and curve.
From your description it does sound like this is a tough species to find and photograph, so congrats on getting something you are pleased with!
