Unlike most of the Hummers, the Violet-crowned are quite distinctive and fairly easy to identify. Reading Howell and Webb, I've just found out it's a Mexican endemic. I felt pretty privileged to get an endemic in the back yard!

Violet-crowned Hummer
With the onset of winter, my garden list at Club de Golf has started to expand exponentially. Recent additions have included Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, House Wren and Bewick's Wren. Continuing the trend was this fine Violet-crowned Hummingbird.
