EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a fascinating moment captured by FLPA photographer James Lowen. Meet the elusive Black-throated Mango, an adult female (or possibly a first winter male) hummingbird showcasing its quirky behavior. Perched delicately on a twig in Puerto Iguazu, Misiones, Argentina, this little marvel seems to have discovered the ultimate itch relief technique - scratching with its foot! With precision and finesse, it effortlessly reaches out and scratches away any discomfort while flaunting its stunning plumage. This snapshot from nature's treasure trove showcases not only the remarkable diversity of wildlife found in South America but also highlights the playful side of these enchanting creatures. Who knew that even hummingbirds needed some self-care? As April unfolds in Argentina, this black throated beauty reminds us that life is full of surprises and hidden talents. From their vibrant colors to their graceful flight patterns, these mango birds continue to captivate our hearts. So next time you find yourself itching for adventure or needing a unique way to scratch an itch – take inspiration from our feathered friend here. After all, who says humans should have all the fun?
