Hummingbird Takes A Bath

Occurred on June 6, 2023 / Santiago, Chile

: "During a warm sunset, I took advantage of the last light of the day to photograph this beautiful Green-backed Firecrown, which came to take its last bath of the day. There are dozens of birds that come to this small waterfall that they take advantage of to cool off. I live in a fairly arid area, so any body of water is used by dozens of species. In this place, I have registered more than 40 different species of birds. One of the beautiful things about photographing hummingbirds in these conditions is that you can see in detail every little feather on their body, which is not always easy due to how fast they are always flying. the above added to the recording in slow motion makes this moment something magical."
