Another representative of the hummingbird family goes to the gallery. Although the fauna of Cuba includes only three species, one of which - extremely rare, I am very pleased that the other two species have their interesting galleries on my website. The Cuban emerald, much bigger than the Bee hummingbird, as it can weigh double as much and reaches up to 5 grams, hindered me to capture the smallest bird in the world. In the competition for food, the bee hummingbird was chased away, but for me it was the number one of this trip.

Although it ignored our presence, we could not take better photos. Cuban nightjar sat still, too high, surrounded by so many branches that it was difficult to have a clean frame and light. Well, it has never been easy when it comes to nightjars, but it is another Cuban endemic.
