White-booted racket-tail (male) - a photo on Flickriver

White-booted racket-tail (male)

            At Saschatamia Lodge - Ecuador. One of the cutest!

The white-booted racket-tail is an Andean hummingbird found from Colombia and Venezuela south to Ecuador. This very small hummingbird is quite spectacular, as males have conspicuous puffy white leg feathers and a long and green tail, with the central two rectrices extended, with bare rachises tipped with blunt "rackets." Males have a metallic-green body and black wings, while females are white below with green speckles, have a white-tipped tail lacking racketed elaboration, and have smaller leg puffs. This species favors humid woodland edges in mid-elevations in the Andes.

Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!
