(Ocreatus underwoodii)
A White-Booted Raquet-tailed Hummingbird (Ocreatus underwoodii) is seen, above, and up close in the cloud forest of San Antonio, in a rural area of Cali, Columbia.  This very small but spectacular and eye-catching 'hummer' is found in Venezuela, Columbia and south to Bolivia.  There are more than 300 species of hummingbirds in the world and they are all found in the western hemisphere, most of them in south America.
