Flowerpiercers | Ecuador, 2013
Just a very quick post of 2 flowerpiercers – awesome name for a bird in my opinion! They get their name from how they use their beak: they pierce the base of flowers to get to the nectar. Pay attention to the unusual shape of the beak. Taken last year in the Yanacocha Reserve, Ecuador.
Comments always greatly welcomed!
