Bird of the Week – Rainbow Starfrontlet

One of the charms of hummingbirds is their marvelous names. This is a Rainbow Starfrontlet. Hummingbirds have extraordinarily long tongues, to get at the flower nectar that is their primary food. This female is showing you a part of her tongue. Technical stuff: tripod, f5.7, 1/250, ISO1250. For more bird images, visit Frozen Feather Images.
