The Wire Crested Thorntail is a very small Hummingbird. This happens to be a male juvenile so the wire crest is still forming. The adult male has a crest that is fairly long protruding out of the back of its head and creates a really unique look. I only got to see an adult male for a brief moment and could not get a photo of it. Unfortunately it did not return to the feeders we were at. Maybe next time…
