Blue-throated Starfrontlet male
Blue-throated Starfrontlet is mainly a species of mountainous terrain in Colombia, South America, with a small incursion into westernmost Venezuela. The male, as in this image, has an iridescent green forehead and a violet-blue throat patch. The species “traplines” low flowers, in both forests and gardens (that is, it has a set circuit to feed within a territory). This bird was at the Observatorio de Colibries [Hummingbirds Observatory] at higher elevation east of Bogota.
