Gould's Jewelfront female by Michael W Potter Via Flickr: There are many elaborate names for hummingbird species, but Gould’s Jewelfront is one of the most intriguing. (The species is also known as Gould’s Brilliant, which is equally fascinating.) Jewelfront aptly describes the small but colourful forecrown (often more prominent on males), while Gould’s refers to famous English ornithologist John Gould (1804-1881), who wrote the first scientific account of the species. The female in this image (with a buff rather than dark chin as on males) was seen at a private sanctuary on the lower part of the renowned Manu Road in Peru.
