Rufous-booted Racket-tail

Ocreatus addae

Least Concern

The Rufous-booted Racket-tail is a nectar-feeding hummingbird of the Andean highlands of western South America. It also takes tiny insects and spiders for protein, using fast hovering flight, rapid wingbeats, and a long bill to work flowers and defend feeding areas. It is currently not considered globally threatened, though healthy native vegetation and flowering plants remain important.
