A buff-tailed coronet stretches its wings between feeding flights, a moment of serene beauty as it basks in the warm sunlight. With its vibrant green plumage and striking white tufts on its legs, this hummingbird is a true gem of nature. Its wings, adorned with a delicate pattern of feathers, shimmer in the light as it takes a brief respite from its busy schedule. #bird #photography by Eric Schertler
