    This little guy has to be the most spectacular hummingbird in the world. They are endemic to one small valley up in the North of Peru. It was a real thrill and a dream come true to get some photos

    Just look at that tail!

    How the heck do you even grow a tail like that? I can't imagine. Great photo, though. Love the crop.
