Fantastic cloud forest hummingbird found in the eastern Andes from southern Colombia to central Peru. Male has a straight tail ending in rackets and buffy leg puffs. On female, note the combination of short bill, white underparts scaled with green, white facial marks, and buffy thighs. May overlap with Rufous-booted Racket-tail at the southern edge of its range; male Peruvian Racket-tail has straight central tail feathers that do not cross; females of the two species look almost identical. Typically feeds at small flowers at forest edge or in clearings.
This one was photographed in Northern Peru led by Neotropic Photo Tours and our Peruvian guide Steve Sánchez Wildlife Photography.

Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca site located 2,430 metres above sea level on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley. Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). Often referred to as "The Lost City of the Incas", it is perhaps the most familiar icon of the Inca World.
The Incas started building the "estate" around AD 1400 but abandoned it as an official site for the Inca rulers a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction.
Since the site was never known to the Spanish during their conquest, it is highly significant as a relatively intact cultural site. Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide Internet poll.

The Peruvian Booby is the most abundant seabird along the coast of Peru, although it is not restricted to that country — being found as far north as southern Colombia and about two-thirds of the way down the coast of Chile. The Peruvian Booby is closely related to the Blue-footed Booby (Sula nebouxii), and the two species occur together mainly in southern Ecuador and northern Peru. I saw them both on a small island at Pucusana, a fishing town south of Lima (which is on the central Pacific coast of Peru). The individual in this image is a juvenile bird, with brownish head; see www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/52458465492/in... for an image of an adult Peruvian Booby {in juxtaposition with a Peruvian Pelican}.

Machu Picchu stands 2,430 m above sea-level, in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. It was probably the most amazing urban creation of the Inca Empire at its height; its giant walls, terraces and ramps seem as if they have been cut naturally in the continuous rock escarpments. The natural setting, on the eastern slopes of the Andes, encompasses the upper Amazon basin with its rich diversity of flora and fauna.
