Black flowerpiercers are near-endemics to the mountains of southwestern Colombia. Flowerpiercers are nectar-feeders like hummingbirds but 'cheat' the flowers they visit by piercing the base of the blossom and stealing nectar without transferring pollen. This one was photographed at about 3000m elevation near Los Nevados National Park, Colombia. |
