In Search of a Name - Any Ideas?

This Purple-throated Woodstar is one of the world's smallest hummingbirds. Only the Bumblebee hummer, once thought to be found only in Cuba and now sighted in Belize, is smaller. I photographed this little gem last April in Ecuador's Tandayapa Valley.

I need your help. I will soon be uploading this photograph, along with several others, to my eGallery - www.WeldonLee.com However, before doing so, it needs a name. Click on COMMENTS and leave your suggestions. Thanks!

Ultimate Botswana - Photo Adventure

Botswana, Africa

Imaging a world where land and sky stretch on forever and days are miles and miles of open country without a soul in sight. A land that's home to the world's largest elephant population, where herds of giraffe, numbering upwards of 50, watch curiously as a lone safari vehicle passes by. A place where nights are campfires in the bush beneath an African sky filled with stars, your senses filled with the sounds of a distant lioness calling to her pride as you drift off to sleep. If this is your vision of Africa, then Botswana and this adventure are for you.
