i don't know that people can always get a fair idea of the size of a birb in a picture but Woodstars are truly tiny...

ha that little guy is a pretty peaceful birb

the real terror is their cousin the White-bellied Woodstar, similar size but it has a bouncing flight & "buzzes" as it flies so that you keep thinking it's a big bee flying at you

i gather that it's a great adaptation for making the larger hummingbirds stay back!!! besides making photographers jump ๐Ÿคฃ
