At Puerto Los Cabos, a small bird perched on a cluster of red ixora, green soft behind it.

I am not putting a species name on this one. It has the size and posture of a hummingbird-type bird, but the file does not give me enough to be sure, and inventing a label would be worse than leaving it open.
The red of the flowers does the heavy lifting. The bird is small in the frame; the colour around it is what you see first.
Resort gardens concentrate flowering shrubs. Birds use them. This is that, without a guidebook caption.

Telephoto, wide aperture, focus on the bird's eye. Background allowed to go soft so the red ixora stays the field of colour.
