Description
This unique hummingbird, is quite uncommon, gracing the high altitudes of the Andes in Peru. Few ever get to see this marvelous guy. It is quite a trek up those steep mountains in the higher ranges. Tourists would have to adapt to the lower amounts of oxygen---to get to see this rare bird. It seems the more isolated species develop more odd features. He certainly caught my eye; had to paint him.

Thank you very much, Peter! So glad you like my blend of colors, and my perky unique bird. Even in his oddities he is stunning and beautifully handsome. Loved painting him!
