Hummingbirds can be found in several places on Bonaire. For this you don’t have to go to the countryside or the wilderness. The wondrous little birds are often also found in the flowery gardens of hotels, resorts and vacation villas. The hummingbird most commonly found on Bonaire is the ruby-topaz hummingbird. These are tiny birds with a body length between 8 and 9 centimeters. Hummingbirds live off the nectar of various flowers and sometimes small insects. This particular bird has a habitat that extends from eastern Panama to eastern Central and South America (including Bonaire). In Papiamentu, a hummingbird is: Dornasol. In fact, in 2016, a series of stamps was released featuring 24 different birds found on Bonaire. The Hummingbird was one of these.

My name is Casper Douma and I am a photographer. Since 2014 I’ve been living on this beautiful island, surrounded by a fringing reef. At first glance, you may see mostly cacti and drought, but Bonaire is a little gem if you get to know it better. I would like to take you on one of my photography tours to show you all the special places of Bonaire. In small groups of maximum 4 people I give you a unique look at the beauty of Bonaire. Became curious? Take a look at my website! I wish you a lot of fun on beautiful Bonaire.”
