Great Sapphirewing

Building, ever building up the Yanacocha hummingbird chain, today is Great Sapphirewing.  See if you can guess how this bird got its name...

 The young males ... not so much.

The females flashed a lot more limited blue in the upperwing at least


One last look at the bird perched.
There can't be many places where a Sapphirewing would be the second coolest hummer, but Yanacocha was one of them ... stay tuned.
