I hope forum members aren't getting fed up with image overload. I could post them in several different posts but feel they are better grouped into a single post. If it's too much then please say and I'll change what I'm doing. I haven't been to this side of the pond for a few years, but I really enjoyed the different birds, especially the hummingbirds. So here's a selection of some that I've had the good fortune to see and photograph.

Black-throated Mango, Anthracothorax nigricollis - Tobago

LOVE all of them but in your 3rd string of post that blue / purple tone bird is so beautiful. I Leo humming birds and have only had the opportunity to capture one once in the yard.

Keep them coming Kevin! Normally I think more then a couple of photos in a thread is overload, but not with these. It's really sweet getting to see so many in one thread, so keep them coming. It's almost like opening a book on birds here, and getting to gaze at all of the varieties of one type of bird.

So many awesome looking hummingbirds. I knew there was quite a few, but I had no idea there was this many. I had quite a few favorites as a looked at these, but I think I will go with Copper-rumped Hummingbird, Amazilia tobaci - Tobago as my favorite one.
