I Spent Three Days Searching for this HUMMINGBIRD

We spent three days looking for the elusive Buff-thighed Puffleg and ended up finding him on Manu Road on our way to the next lodge. This hummingbird is not found feeding on hummingbird feeders, so you have to be lucky to spot one by the side of the road. He is mostly green and nondescript except for his beautiful buff-colored puffs on his legs.
