Blue-tailed Emerald

 

Another gorgeous bird I was able to find and observe while birding the Spanish Lagoon area on Aruba was the Blue-tailed Emerald.

The Blue-tailed Emerald is a common small green hummingbird of humid lowlands. Males are a rich iridescent green, with a bluish sheen to the face and breast, and deep blue tail and is found in a variety of rainforest habitats, but most common around forest edges, including in agricultural areas.
