The Ruby Topaz Hummingbird,
A living jewel with iridescence glinting gold
a flash of sunlight, watch closely,
rainbow colours this creature, so bold
Emerald, Amber and Flaming red
Dancing in the sunlight while it hovers overhead
Native to Trinidad, Tobago, sometimes seen elsewhere
Gods wonderful creature, feathers so rare
Study a photograph, and see reflections of light
This magnificent bird, is sheer delight!

Very nicely done indeed, and spreading some knowledge to boot. Also native to Columbia. Thank you for a very fine entry in the contest.
