Beija Flor

…is the name for “hummingbird” in Brasilian Portugese, literally meaning “flower kisser.” We saw this beauty today here in Monterey. He had a gorgeous fuschia patch of irridescence on his breast, but that unfortunately did not come out in this photo. Nevertheless, I was lucky even to get this pic, as I barely got my camera out for this one shot before he flew away.
