Sword-billed Hummingbird

Ecuador, Amazon basin, 8,900 feet

August, 2006

Few birds seem more improbable or striking than the Sword-billed Hummingbird, with its enormous bill in proportion to its body. Capable of feeding from withing the deepest flowers, these birds will still visit a feeder -- the sight of which is a study in hummingbird flight control.
