Souimanga sunbird (male), Ivoloina park,Madagascar Resisting my usual urge to crop, just to show how this tiny sunbird (foreground, middle) is dwarfed by the Traveler Palm in the background. <br />

This is the first photo of a male on JungleDragon, which even from this distance is unmistakable. If you zoom in closely enough, you&#039;ll see a metallic green head, metallic blue chest, followed by a red band. This combination sets the species apart from other sun birds.
