This beautiful creature is a Buff-tailed Coronet. They were fairly common in mountains of Colombia. When they flew close to me I could hear them communicating with with their tiny voice—no kidding. It wasn’t Spanish.

Wegen nicht behebbarer Probleme mit meinem Account (ich erhalte keine Email-Nachrichten mehr) ziehe ich bald um. In Zukunft findest Du meine Bilder über die Personensuche unter “Manni.Aigner”. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn wir in Kontakt blieben.

The buff-necked ibis (theristicus caudatus), also known as the white-throated ibis, is a fairly large ibis found widely in open habitats of eastern and northern South America.
Its diet consists mainly of insects, spiders, frogs, reptiles, snails, invertebrates and small mammals found in soft soils. The female usually lays two to four eggs in a platform nest, made from twigs and branches, in a tree.
The Pantanal is a tropical wetland and the world's largest wetland of any kind. The Pantanal ecosystem is also thought to be home to 1000 bird species, 400 fish species, 300 mammalian species, 480 reptile species and over 9000 different subspecies of invertebrates.

These medium-sized hummingbirds display a cinnamon underwing in flight, and other than the bronzy central tail feathers, the tail is notably buffy. Buff-tailed Coronets inhabit humid and wet montane forests, shrubby forest borders, and dwarf forests. They are rather defensive around mid and upper level flowers in the forest, and sometimes congregate with other hummingbirds at trees in the canopy interior.
A real beauty photographed at Bird Watchers House. Wishing everyone a peaceful Bokeh Wednesday!

Buff-winged StarfrontletBuff-winged Starfrontlets are appropriately named and have a conspicuous buff-colored patch on their wings. These hummingbirds are rather territorial and often pursue other hummingbirds in high chases, or guard flowers from others from a nearby perch. Buff-winged Starfrontlets inhabit dense cloud forests, elfin forests, and nearby shrubby areas. They are most often seen foraging low around forest borders where they primarily feed on nectar by hovering or briefly clinging to flowers.

The queen of the Buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) was basking in the sun on a moss-covered beech tree trunk but didn’t fly away. This species of bumblebees flies early in the season and is known to fly in January-February months. Lansdown, Bath, BANES, England, U.K.

"Ecuador is the Mecca for hummingbird watchers and photographers. With more than 130 of the world's 340 species, it's no surprise Ecuador is known as the "Land of Hummingbirds" and the hummingbird capital of the world.
Hummingbirds (colibríes in Spanish) have long fascinated us with their speed, agility, compact size and perfectly adapted beaks and tongues. Many cultures have placed spiritual significance on these pint-sized marvels. The Aztec god of war, Huitzilopochtli, is depicted as a hummingbird because of his belief that hummingbirds contained the spirit of fallen warriors."

Two images from a couple of falls ago. This sandpiper has only been recorded a few times in Idaho. A lifer for me and a one I'll likely never see again.

This bird also nests on the Canadian Arctic Islands not far from the North Pole before migrating to the southern ends of Argentina. In August, a few of them will drop down on Michigan where birders eagerly seek them out. I found this bird and another near Muskegon, Michigan.

This little beauty is a rare visitor to South Florida. It's usually found in South Texas but it's been to Florida before.
Thanks so much for the visit!
