This tiny forest sprite is found at middle elevations in Andean cloud forest, from around 1,000–2,200 m. The male is one of the most distinctive hummingbirds with his long tail rackets and prominent white or orange leg puffs. Females can be identified by their white underparts with variable amounts of spotting, short straight bill, leg puffs, and tiny size. Beware female whitetips, which have very similar plumage but are larger and longer-billed and do not have leg puffs. Can be seen foraging at low or middle levels of forest and edges.

"Beautiful Racket was born, in the summer of 2020, out of the need for accessible creative programming for the youth of Hudson, NY. We believe accessibility means more than financial access. We are committed to eliminating barriers that have historically prevented Black and Brown people from accessing the power of self-expression, by creating a safe and empowering environment rooted in: representation in leadership and instruction; tuition-free programming for students; and competitive wages that honor the true skills of the instructors.
