Bahama Woodstar


Yes...as in the Bahamas. This is a little bird that must have travelled very far. They have been seen in Florida and the Bahamas, their native habitat. I'll be darned if that isn't one right there on the aspen tree in our driveway waaaaay out here in Aspen Park, CO! This is a female Bahama Woodstar. It took some searching, but I figured out what this pretty little puffball was. VERY tiny, about half the length of my pinky. No bigger than an aspen leaf, as you can see. WOW! I had noticed this bird before, it sticks out among all the green and red hummers that buzz by all day long. Check it out! http://southfloridabirding.com/html/bahama_woodstar.html

There is NO WAY a Bahama Woodstar has found its way to Colorado. Please educate yourself...
