Gemlike

The Jamaican Tody was an endemic everyone wanted to see and it did not disappoint.  It was back in the woods the first time we saw one but a few days later it came out and perched quite close to us.  The ebird description of it calls the Tody “gemlike” and I agree.  With its vivid green back, pink beneath the wings (not seen in this picture), and blood-red gorget makes this an unforgettable bird.
