St. John Vistas: Hummingbirds

    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.
