Long-tailed sylph - feeding, Rio Ñambi, Colombia

After a pretty horrible night in the Rio Ñambi lodge (moldy room full of bugs), we booted up to start enjoying our only full day in the forest. Our first action was to simply move to the second floor of the building. From there, we had a good view of some fruit trees known to attract early feeders.

From the corner of my eye I could see the glittering of this male Long-tailed sylph as it was feeding. From the closeup photo you can see that this is quite a precise job.
