Black-breasted Puffleg (2 Viewers)

Was out today at Yanacocha Pichincha Ecuador and was blessed to see the critically endangered Black-breasted Puffleg. It was a lone female visiting flowers off of one of the reserves side trails. Spent about 30 minutes observing and photographing it. I was told that the last time it was photographed was July of 2009. It made for a beautiful day.

Great bird, Steve. It's been several years since one was reliable recorded...
