Masked Flowerpiercer

Flowerpiercers are related to the tropical tanagers. They are cheaters, because instead of sticking their bill into a flower to get nectar, they reach the nectar by slitting the base of the flower with their hooked bill. They also sometimes come to hummingbird feeders, such as this Masked Flowerpiercer at the Jocotoco Reserve on the west slope of the Andes.
