Fiery Throated Hummingbird Photo

A fiery-throated hummingbird sips nectar. This photograph was taken in a Costa Rican cloud forest, a biome found at higher elevations than a rainforest where most moisture hangs around as misty vapor.

Fiery-throated hummingbirds display a unique metallic shade on all their feathers. Their shimmery plumage changes from blazing orange at their throat to deep blue at the base of their tails.
