Beautiful bird and photo.
I looked the bird up. Interesting and unique.

Your photo was better than I saw looking for this online and makes it easier to understand the use it puts its beak to.
The slightly ajar beak shows that off very well.

Very nice indeed.

Amazing competitor to hummers and other species that lap nectar with their long tongues.
