Description
Quizzical Broad-tailed male hummingbird perched on a twig and displaying his bright red gorget. The bright iridescence of his feathers is not pigment and is due to the refraction of light off the structures of the feathers themselves. The resulting colors are much more vivid than those of birds with only pigmented feathers. Hummingbirds are little jewels!
