This is it, the last clip from January's Ecuador trip. A female booted racket-tail isn't as spectacular as the male, but still sports big boots. They live in the mountains from Venezuela down to Bolivia.

The male white-booted racket-tails are 4.3 to 5.9 inches long including the 2.8 to 3.1 inch long outer tail feathers, and weigh 0.088 to 0.095 oz. A very tiny but long hummer!
