Related: About this forumSnowcap Hummingbird (Costa Rica)
The Snowcap is a spectacular, tiny hummingbird of Central American cloud forests. The male is black overall, but with a unique purple or bronze iridescence on the upperparts. Its namesake white crown is brilliant and contrasts sharply with the dark body plumage. This species feeds at all strata in humid montane evergreen forests from southern Honduras south to central Panama. Males sing from small leks at the edge of the forest during the breeding season.

I thought about the Snowcaps in their paradise, as I shoveled wet snow today, and I smiled :)
