When I started this advent calendar I intended to just post picture of a bird each day and leave it at that, but I keep thinking of things I want to add. Today, though, I really am just going to post a picture:
That is a Sword-billed Hummingbird, Ensifera ensifera. Not, sadly, one of the hummingbirds I saw in Ecuador.

Oh my soul. Are we sure this isn’t some tinsel Christmas ornament? But he can’t sing.
It certainly is shiny.
