More Hummers!

[vantid]

Hummingbirds are amazing, each of the 328 species is prettier than the last. It's sad that most people only see images of the Ruby Throated Hummingbird, maybe an Anna's, Calliope, or other North American species.

Central and South America have a lot of the cool ones, but for a good wtf, I bring to you the genus Lophornis, the Coquettes.
