Well, with all "yes" votes and no "no" votes to clone it out, I'm going ahead with it. Thanks for the feedback!


I'll post the full image at some point if anyone is interested. It really is a magnificent bird. This particular one had a penchant for chasing away any other hummers that got close to "its" feeder. Then he would sit high up in the tree and make this sharp "tick! tick! tick!" call. This species is on the large side as far as hummingbirds come, about 4-5 inches in body length.


Sadly, where I live, there isn't a whole lot of diversity in hummingbirds. Or regular birds for that matter. Or wildlife, period. The sheer biodiversity of tropical regions only becomes apparent when you can witness it firsthand.
