Why it matters
The Perija Metaltail is a critically endangered hummingbird restricted to a very small range within the Perijá Mountains on the border of Colombia and Venezuela. Its pointed wings and notched tail are characteristic of its genus, but this species is particularly prized by researchers and birders for its extreme rarity and the isolation of its high-altitude cloud forest habitat.
