Hummer fans,
I thought this was another hoax, similar to one that came out about ten years ago on April Fools Day about a “Cave Hummer.”
But this is looking real, maybe? Anyone else heard about it on other list serves?

Anyway, pix of the male Blue-throated Hillstar are stunning!

Hello everyone,

Just thought I’d hare a pice I published a few days ago about a

newly-discovered hummingbird species was found high up in Ecuador’s Andes

Mountains. Despite the elevation of its home, this species is threatened by

human activities, so it is already recognized as Critically Endangered
