17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Palestine Sunbird

A pair of gorgeous Palestine Sunbirds nested in our back yard. Sunbirds are tiny (10cm), fast, and nest deep in shady bushes, and feed on nectar (like hummingbirds) and small insects. Four seemingly healthy chicks left the nest on April 26th.
