Andean Hillstar (Oreotrochilus estella)
Author's comments:
Me llamó la atención el color del pico, pero supongo que será por el néctar de las flores que visita.
Estaba con otras 2 hembras (que no tenían pico amarillo) y cuando se cruzaban parecían pelearse por el territorio.
Hizo numerosos viajes llevando fibras vegetales que sacaba con la patita que sumergía en el agua como a un metro de la costa por lo que supongo que debería estar construyendo su nido.
