Another angle of the bird - yellow underparts with black chin/head/wings. A dark brown/red crown is visible on its head.
Hey #Birders, what is this? Seen near a creek in the mountains surrounding Jerico, Antioquia Colombia.

An Indigo-capped hummingbird hovers in front of the camera, its wings slightly blurred and held high and near vertical.

A rufous-tailed hummingbird is captured hovering in isolation against a neutral background, its green iridescence glowing, complimented by its bright orange beak and of course, its rufous tail.
About an hour’s drive from Bogotá is another family run slice of bird heaven - Jardin Ecantado. I’ve never seen so many beautiful hummingbirds in one place - including this Rufous-tailed Hummingbird.

A Spot-flanked Gallinule, with its red eye, rusty back, and, you guessed it, spotted flanks, floats in a wetland among the lily pads.

A secretive Bogota Rail, with its bright orange beak, skulks around wetland greenery.
My second day out of Bogota started out more local, with a visit to Parque La Florida, a wetland not too far from the airport and my guide Juan Carlos (thank you!) dragged me out early enough to see the Bogota Rail.

A Siver-throated Spintail peaks out from the green brush, it’s long tail a little hidden, but the sun lighting up its rusty cap and silver throat.
A little further down in elevation we worked hard to get a glimpse of the Silvery-throated Spinetail. Another Colombian endemic with a crazy restricted range.

A Black Flowerpiercer stretches it’s neck up to search an insect from a natural bouquet of yellow flowers.
Another look at a Black Flowerpiercer at home in the high elevation paramos habitat of the Andes.

One highlight was this Boyaca Antpitta. Maybe not the most dramatic and colourful bird, but so unique looking to my North American eye, and its restricted range kind of boggled the mind.
