White-necked Jacobin, Asa Wright Nature Centre, Trinidad
I ran out of time and energy yesterday to choose and edit a pile of photos to post overnight. I am posting just this one image, as I have to be up and ready early this morning.
I think I have the correct ID for this Hummingbird. If someone happens to notice that I have labelled it incorrectly, please do tell me - thanks!
This was just one of several species of Hummingbird that my friends and I were lucky enough to see on our recent trip to Trinidad & Tobago. Though this species is found on both islands, this one was photographed at the Asa Wright Nature Centre, high up in the mountains on Trinidad. Once I have finally edited all my bird photos, I will be able to see exactly how many Hummingbird species I saw. At the moment, I'm still working out which is which.
"The white-necked jacobin (Florisuga mellivora) is a large and attractive hummingbird that ranges from Mexico, south to Peru, Bolivia and south Brazil. It is also found on Tobago (sub-species F. m. flabellifera) and in Trinidad (sub-species F. m. mellivora)
Other common names are great jacobin and collared hummingbird.
The white-necked jacobin is a widespread inhabitant of forest, usually being seen at a high perch or just above the canopy. It is less common at lower levels, except near hummingbird feeders.
The approximately 12 cm long male white-necked jacobin is unmistakable with its white belly and tail, a white band on the nape and a dark blue hood. Immature males have less white in the tail and a conspicuous rufous patch in the malar region. Females are highly variable, and may resemble adult or immature males, have green upperparts, white belly, white-scaled green or blue throat, and white-scaled dark blue crissum (the area around the cloaca), or be intermediate between the aforementioned plumages, though retain the white-scaled dark blue crissum. Females are potentially confusing, but the pattern on the crissum is distinctive and not shared by superficially similar species.
These birds usually visit flowers of tall trees and epiphytes for nectar, and also hawk for insects." From Wikipedia.
