Green Thorntail
   
 

The very cute Green Thorntail is a vagrant from lower elevations, and there have been only two records from the Lodge feeders. Females are tiny and easily recognised by the white band across the rump and the white moustachial stripes contrasting with a black belly. Males are just as small, but have very long spiky tails.
