CommentI like this shot because it demonstrates the critical link between birds and their habitat. This juvenile Eastern Spinebill, with the stamens rubbing on its forehead leaving pollen, is ready to take its part in the reproductive process of the plant. The bird and the habitat rely on one-another for their survival.
