The Buff-tailed Coronet (Boissonneaua flavescens) is a species of hummingbird from the family Trochilidea. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Distinguishing characteristics are the short bill, glittering green coloration, and buffy color under the remiges (flight feathers) and rectrices (tail feathers). Like other hummingbirds, the Buff-tailed Coronet is often found in mid-level forest to canopy searching for flowers with nectar and some insects. This bird is commonly found from 1500–2400 meters above sea level. This is from the mindo area on my last Ecuador trip These gems are aggressive and territorial..most impressive is how they dart from perching to feeding.. and never resting for long... Seems they have a real Sweet Tooth" Captured, after observing & waiting to get some separation between the hummer and the background. Fill flash used to even-out shadows from the dense underbrush, and gloomy light rain conditions...Click over image to darken canvas.. A Blessed and Happy Easter to all!!
