Scintillant Hummingbird (female) perched, Boquete, Panama

Finca Lerida Coffee Plantation & Hotel, Alto Quiel, near Boquete, Chiriqui Province, Panama (September 2016)

We visited Finca Lerida to sample the coffee but the beautiful gardens there were discovered to be a magnet for many birds. I only wish I could have stayed longer! This tiny bird was very obliging and allowed a close approach.
