Red-billed Streamertail Hummingbird
Sipping nectar from a pink trumpet tree flower is a red-billed streamertail hummingbird. These non-migratory hummers are only found in Jamaica. Jamaicans call them doctor birds, because of their long black scissor tail feathers that resemble coattails. When they fly these feathers make a humming sound. This is a digital painting created in Photoshop.
