[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the giant hummingbird Patagona gigas. It weighs between 18 and 20 g, is 23 cm long (the size of a European starling) and is found in the Andes between 2000 and 3800 m. I filmed this one high above the Colca Canyon at about 3400 m.

Hi Michael.
Very good in-flight picture and very nice scenery and composition of the shot. Bravo. Excellent job.
Alexei.

Extremely interesting to see this unusual bird, unfortunately too far away to make out many details,
