    Wire-crested Thorntail

    Here is a species I don't believe I have seen posted before - The Wire-crested Thorntail from southern Ecuador. They remind me of little aliens



    Camera Model: Canon EOS 50D
    Shutter speed: 1/250 sec
    Aperture: 5.6
    ISO: 400
    Focal length: 500mm + 1.4x
