Loddigesia mirabilis
Order: Apodiformes
Family: Trochilidae (Hummingbirds)
This astonishingly cool but endangered little hummingbird is restricted to a tiny area of Peru. Money provided by ecotourism for birders to see it is helping ensure that at least some landowners protect the tropical forests where it is found rather than logging their land.
