Marvelous Spatuletail (Peru)
This little guy has to be the most spectacular hummingbird in the world. They are endemic to one small valley up in the North of Peru. It was a real thrill and a dream come true to get some photos :)
Just look at that tail!

All I can say is WOW!. I have never seen such a bird. Beautiful colors and sharp. Thanks for sharing Glenn.
Killer and super rare. When Linda Robbins (The Hummingbird Queen) was still photographing she lusted over the thought of trying for this species. Congrats.
