March 4, 2020 - Black-throated Mango (Anthracothorax nigricollis)

These hummingbirds are found in parts of Central and South America from southern Panama to northern Argentina. They live in open habitats and are often seen in gardens and parks. Their diet is primarily made up of nectar from flowering trees, but also includes small insects. Males aggressively defend feeding territories, often physically attacking intruders. Females build small cup-shaped nests from seed down, moss, dry leaves, and rootlets. They incubate the eggs and care for the chicks alone.

European Starling

Common Grackle

I love the funky-looking Knob-Billed Duck

The shiny variant Ocellated Turkey

The wonderful Superb Starling (most starling species are very iridescent)

Sunbirds are another family with many iridescent members - this particular bird is a Golden Throated Sunbird

And of course, so many hummingbirds - these are the Sparkling Violetear, Black-throated Mango, and Ruby-throated Hummingbirds
