Description
The Oasis hummingbird (Rhodopis vesper) is found in Peru and northern Chile in the subtropical / tropical shrubland in the western foothills of the Andes and the valleys that cross the coastal desert. The relatively long curved bill and orange colored rump are distinctive. Here it is feeding on a Leonotis nepetifolia flower (a very popular species with hummingbirds) which is native to Africa and India and has been introduced to South America.
