Why it matters
The Black-breasted Puffleg is a critically endangered hummingbird endemic to a small range in the Ecuadorian Andes. Collectors and ornithologists prize this species for its distinctively notched tail and the namesake dense white feather tufts on its legs, which remain one of the most striking adaptations among high-altitude trochilids.
