EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Kevin Elsby in Ecuador's montane rainforest, we witness an adult male Collared Inca showcasing its incredible hovering skills at a feeder. With its vibrant plumage and graceful flight, this magnificent bird seems to be performing a mid-air ballet routine. As it hovers effortlessly, savoring every drop of sweet nectar from the feeder, one can't help but marvel at nature's ingenuity. This tiny avian wonder is perfectly adapted for life in the tropical uplands of South America. With its long bill and specialized tongue designed for drinking on-the-go, our feathered friend exemplifies both elegance and efficiency. It's no wonder why hummingbirds like these are often referred to as "nature's little helicopters". Against a backdrop of lush greenery and mist-shrouded mountains, this photo encapsulates the beauty and diversity found within Ecuador's neotropical rainforests. The Collared Inca serves as a reminder that even in remote corners of our planet, there exists an abundance of wildlife waiting to be discovered. So let us raise our imaginary glasses (filled with delicious nectar) to this charismatic creature – may it continue to grace us with its aerial acrobatics and remind us that sometimes all you need is a little bit of sweetness in life!
