Vervain Hummingbird (Mellisuga minima) - 27-28Dec2024

This is the second of the "Bee" hummingbirds in the genus Mellisuga, of which the other is the Bee Hummingbird of Cuba.  The Vervain lives on Hispaniola and Jamaica.  I saw mine in the Dominican Republic in a couple different spots inland from the north coast.  This is the second smallest bird in the world after the Bee Hummingbird.
