Zafiro coronado

Un colibrí deslumbrantemente colorido de los bosques tropicales de América Central y el norte de América del Sur, los machos del zafiro coronado muestran una brillante corona púrpura y gorgera pectoral que transiciona a verde reluciente en el pecho inferior, con una cola profundamente ahorquillada de color violeta-azul. Habitan bosques húmedos de tierras bajas y laderas desde Guatemala hasta Ecuador a elevaciones de hasta 1.400 metros. Agresivos y de vuelo rápido, los machos defienden vigorosamente territorios de flores ricas en néctar contra intrusos.
