    That whole country is absolutely breath-taking, and the little bird bathing in the mini-waterfall is adorable.

    I am so glad William, and the rest of the team could make this climb back up and get the incredible footage they captured. The sunsets were glorious. The bedrock they rested on at the lakes incredible. But watching the Blue-Bearded Helmetcrest take a bath in the little stream, beyond words. No one will ever get that footage again. Thank you for this video Carole, just gorgeous.

    Wow, the drone footage really gives you a great birds-eye-view of how difficult this hike is. I'm so glad that they got it along the way
    as the terrain is both rugged and quite beautiful at the same time. Another great video; kudos to William Orellana and the rest of his team.

    After seeing this and knowing you did this trip earlier, it only reinforces that you are one tough lady and will always be my hero. Thank yo Carole for bringing us the experiences we can only have through your trips. Sometimes the only way to survive is to withdraw as the Helmetcrest Hummingbird has.

    Thank you so much for Sharing this video !!! How lucky am I to see this beautiful wee hummingbird !!! And to learn that it is Endangered is disheartening ... Do you know if there are ANY TYPE OF ACTIVE CONSERVATION regarding saving this lovely creature ????? I am in absolute awe over this video and the tenacity of ALL that journey to get a rare glimpse of this magical hummingbird !!! I pray there is hope for saving it from extinction ... Thanks again for Sharing this amazing video !!!

      Fortunately the Kogi people, who are the indigenous people who control this part of the mountain consider the Sevilla Lakes to be sacred, so this ground should be ok. But a lot of the surrounding area is continuously being cleared for grazing.

    If this spieces is in danger of being non existing then perhaps a male and female could be captured and taken to an Ornithology lab like Cornell University Ornithologist lab and bred? Just a thought??

    • @HummingbirdSpot
      @HummingbirdSpot  2 года назад +1

      These birds only exist at a very high altitude and that is what they are adapted to.

    • @elenabaker3967
      @elenabaker3967 2 года назад

      @@HummingbirdSpot Is there a high altitude lab where they could thrive? It seems like such a shame that with all of our science there is not a way to save these fantastic Hummingbirds. There has to be a way! Build a lab in the mountains and reproduce the environment and save this spieces. There has to be Ornithologist lab that would be willing to take on the challenge. Sadly my PhD is in Psychology or I'd volunteer!!
