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.
