Glossy-flowerpiercer
The Glossy Flowerpiercer is found in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador.
It is a wonderful and unique looking bird that has a specialized bill used for drinking nectar from the flowers and it is also know to eat small invertebrates. This small fella moves very quickly and are mainly solitary. We captured this image high up in The Andean Mountains while searching for hummingbirds but they are also found down at lower elevations as well.
Again this was taken in the dense forests of the Andean Mountains which always proves to be a bit of a challenge because of the low lighting. It was definitely a thrill to see this species.
