These amazing long-tailed beauties inhabit the cloud forest of the western Andes. I saw mine during my second trip to Colombia at the Montezuma Rainforest Lodge and up the Montezuma Road. We stopped at a nectar station that the staff set up half way down the road and the photography with the natural setting of the palms was perfect.
The female doesn't have the long tail but is equally as striking as the male.
Of course the male is the crowd-pleaser with the long violet tail.
