GREEN-THROATED MANGO WITH TAIL SPREAD, CARONI NATIONAL PARK, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO
This hummingbird was identified by our birding guide as a Green-throated Mango. We have not added it to our Photographic Life List because it is not a recognizable photo, due to it being silhouetted. However, I thought it was an interesting enough photo to put on the blog.

WHITE-TIPPED DOVE, BLUE WATERS INN, SPEYSIDE, TOBAGO, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO
We can ID this dove as a White-tipped Dove by its blue eye-ring, yellow iris, red legs, black bill, brown upperparts and wings, whitish underparts, white forehead and rufous underwing coverts. It should be noted that the eye-ring is typically red in most of the White-tipped Dove's range, but is blue in most of the Amazon, Northern South America and Trinidad & Tobago.
The White-tipped Dove is a new species to our Photographic Life List, which now stands at 591.
PALE-VENTED PIGEON, BLUE WATERS INN, SPEYSIDE, TOBAGO, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO
We can ID this pigeon as a Pale-vented Pigeon by its overall dull pink wash, dull purple head, gray lower underparts and reddish eye ring.
The Pale-vented Pigeon is a new species to our Photographic Life List, which now stands at 590.
