I am a Speckled Hummingbird
My defining marks are my black cheeks and white eye stripes
My throat, breast and underparts are speckled
And all but my two middle tail feathers are tipped white.
(This is a sneak peak at my Rhyming Guide to Ecuador book which I have finally resumed working on again. You know how it is, sometimes life gets in the way! But I promise it will be coming out some day!)
