Sini-saabelkoolibri, Campylopterus hemileucurus

Sini-saabelkoolibri, Campylopterus hemileucurus, Violet Sabrewing, koolibri, De Lattre's hummingbird
Sini-saabelkoolibri on Kesk-Ameerika suurim koolibri ning maailma suurim saabelkoolibri (pikkust hämmastavad 15 cm :)) Liiginimi saabelkoolibri tuleneb muide sellest, et isaslindude välimised lennusuled on paksenenud, lamedad ning veidi kaardus, mistõttu meenutavad mõõka. Curi-Cancha kaitseala Monteverdes, Costa Ricas.
Violet Sabrewing is the largest hummingbird in Central America and the largest sabrewing in the world (with its mouth-dropping length of 15 cm :)) The name of the species - sabrewing - derives from the fact that the shafts of the male’s two outermost primary flight feathers are thickened, flattened and bent at an angle so these look like a sabre. Curi-Cancha Reserve in Monteverde, Costa Rica.
