Purple-throated Woodstart captured by Z 9 / Z180-600 w/2x Profoto A10s
Generally speaking, the females are typically not as flashy as the males in the hummer world. You could say, they are the plane, Janes. Well, in Ecuador, I found time and time again the females were so gorgeous with their plane style. While one of the smaller of the hummer in Ecuador, they have one of the loudest wing beats sounding like a very angry bubble bee. The coolest thing is how they approach a feeder. At times, they fly in in ultra slowmo, as in, so slow you could get your iphone out, activate its camera and captured slowmo video before they traveled an inch. Facinating!! This female Purple-throated Woodstar is a good example of what I’m referring to. They were fun to photograph, the sweetest little lady!
