They appear to have an expression knowing how stunning they are. What beauties.

[@id10t98]

Sometimes I think this is all a dream when I see such beautiful things!❤

[@nancyleigh8016]

Such vibrant colors on that male!! I guess that's for the females looking for their Mr. Majestic lol. There are so many to choose from, so how do they select their perfect partner? TYVM for sharing these gorgeous creatures with us all Carole ❤❤❤❤

That Ruby Topaz is a stunner!! The swallow tail was pretty cool too! I’m going to add this to places to visit in Brazil!

[@SugarDad1]

For those curious the "ABC" islands are comprised of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao. A few years ago-prior to filming hummingbirds-I lived on Curacao for 6 months, then 6 months on Aruba the following year. If anyone is going to Aruba and would like a pointer on where to potentially see the Ruby-topaz, reach out to me.

[@JohnMichaelson]

if the Ruby Topaz isn't the official state or local bird somewhere in its range, it sure should be!

[@HummingbirdSpot]

I definitely agree! Could you imagine such a creature landing on my balcony??? LOL

[@theck672]

Wow 🤩 Stunning❣️ Never seen any bird as beautiful❣️ Truly incredible and gorgeous hummingbirds❣️ What a bounty of beauties❣️ Thank you so much❣️

[@dillonpark7262]

This is my new favorite hummingbird. That ruby head is awesome!

[@Babygirl16457]

😍😍😍

[@marksmith42458]

Awesome bird!! Thank you for going and filming and then sharing with us!!

[@levans3447]

Oh i wish that little guy would show up at my feeder. How sweet .

[@agyvonne]

My God - how gorgeous!! Thank you !

[@betterbirders]

What an incredible bird! Great pictures too.

[@ivymoss4965]

Stunning and such a short bill 🧡❤ What were those cactus looking flowers the Ruby Topaz was feeding on? They looked like sea anemone, lol.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Yes they were cactus flowers!

[@t.rexroadtrip3041]

Exciting! I will be in Curaçao in a few weeks with intentions toward the Ruby Topaz as well. My number is quite a bit lower, of course. If I am lucky, it will be number 15 or 16, depending on which of the two species I see first. 242 is more like distant goals. :)

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Keep at it!

[@roygbiv5164]

While I realize people need to make a living, the deforestation shown in this video is quite frankly, heartbreaking.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

All of Brazil is being torn up for sugar cane, coffee beans and other agricultural products.

[@valterzc8187]

That region is naturaly like a Savanah

[@SugarDad1]

Yes heartbreaking and unfortunately all too common around the world. Even in countries like the US and Canada that often fancies themselves "advanced" logging is still at a fever pitch today.
