Why it matters
The Marvelous Spatuletail is one of the most sought-after sights in the birding world, famous for the male's two long, racket-tipped outer tail feathers that he fans and waves during complex courtship displays. Restricted to a very small range in the Andean cloud forests of northern Peru, this hummingbird is considered a symbol of extreme evolutionary specialization and conservation importance.
