St. John Vistas: Hummingbirds
Did you know hummingbirds are only found in North and South America and the Caribbean?
A St. John native is the Antillean Crested hummingbird, with their metallic blue/green heads, found only in the Eastern Caribbean. These guys love nectar.
Watch them go after the big pink powder puff blossoms of a Calliandra bush in Chocolate Hole, below…

Beautiful! I need that on this snowy morning. Only 5 weeks until I see these beautiful vistas, beach breaks, and jeep cams in person! Thank you!

Great footage! And a big thank you for identifying that powder puff bush, we had one near a villa we stayed at in the Fish Bay area.

Those Antillean Crested and the Green-throated Caribs get pretty possessive of our hummingbird feeder. A daily “battle” for position.
