Black-breasted Hillstar (Peru)

Postby Glenn Bartley » Sat Mar 03, 2012 6:38 pm

This guy was one of my most wanted hummingbirds in Peru. Before I went down I scoured the internet to see if I could find any good inspiration photos and quickly realized that no quality images existed of this species. Perhaps it is because they live up mostly above 4000m and are pretty patchily distributed?

In any case I was glad to nail this one and I hope you will enjoy the image.

Cheers!
