Vervain Hummingbird

Transparent Wings?

Viewed 11 Times

The Vervain Hummingbird was active at our lodging as well.  This small bird is also found on Haiti and the Dominican Republic so was not technically a Jamaican endemic.  I took this shot early one morning in low light so my shutter speed was only 1/125th of a second; impossible to stop the action of the wings at that slow of a speed so they appear blurred, seemingly transparent.
