cometa coliverde

El colibrí colaespada verde (Lesbia nuna) es un colibrí andino de tamaño mediano con una cola verde larga y profundamente bifurcada —la más larga en proporción al cuerpo entre los colibrís colilargos—. Los machos habitan pastizales abiertos, matorrales y setos andinos desde Ecuador hasta Bolivia, a elevaciones de 2.000 a 4.000 metros. Realizan despliegues aéreos con la cola ornamental extendida y se alimentan de diversas plantas con flores en paisajes abiertos, jardines y páramos.
