Monday, Feb. 16 - Here it is! My Park Pals should remember the pencil photo when realizing how tiny this bird is! This is a male Bee Hummingbird, the smallest bird in the world. Is he not gorgeous?! He actually is blue on his back and his 'hood' really does stick out when he's disturbed, a situation he's in whenever another male hangs around his territory. We watched a couple of these tiny birds on one of the trails behind the hotel. A crippler, as Lar would say. Ivan took this photo.
