(World Species #1240e) SMALLEST BIRD ON EARTH - male Bee Hummingbird - [ Zapata National Park, Cuba ]
I hopped over to Cuba last week and got one of my all time most wanted species....
(Avg size is about 2 inches and weight less than a U.S.penny)
This bird holds 3 titles:
1. It is THE SMALLEST bird on earth;
2.it is classified by IUCN as NEAR THREATENED because of habitat loss; and
3.It is ENDEMIC and only found in a few small area on the island of Cuba.
I will show better/more shots of him when I'm done with all my Madagascar species....
