scienceyoucanlove: This tiny little rascal is a Tufted…
Wednesday, December 25th, 2013
This tiny little rascal is a Tufted Coquette (Lophornis ornatus), found in eastern Venezuela, Trinidad, Guyana and northern Brazil. The males are beautifully decorated with large, red crests on their heads and tufts beneath their throats, which they use to attract the females. At no more than 7 cm long, these little hummingbirds are sometimes mistaken for large bees when in flight.
