Red-legged Honeycreeper

If crayons exploded and learned how to tweet,

You’d get this absurdist with bright red feet.

 

This male Red-legged Honeycreeper was photographed in Costa Rica, showing off his electric blue body, velvet black mask, and those unmistakable crimson legs. He looks less like a bird and more like a rogue highlighter with an attitude. Just another reminder that nature has a sense of humor—and a very colorful palette.
