Black-breasted Hillstar
Large hummingbird found only at very high elevations in the Andes of central Peru. Male is dusky green with a sparkling green throat, a blue breast and belly, and gray sides. Female lacks the colorful underparts, and instead has a speckled throat and white tips to the tail. She is similar to females of both Andean and Green-headed Hillstars, but lacks white at the base of the tail feathers. The species inhabits open, scrubby habitat, usually above treeline, and feeds on a wide variety of flowers as well as insects.

in reply to how to do anything • • •Two irregularly shaped, dark brown objects rest on a white, textured square surface. The objects appear to be steaming, with curved lines rising from them to indicate heat. The square surface is set against a pale yellow backdrop, and a blue vertical shape is visible on the right side of the image. The overall style of the image is illustrative, with simple lines and shading. The background is a solid color without additional details.
