On the evening of June 9th, 2023, as the warm sun began to set over the countryside of Colina, Santiago, Chile, a remarkable sight unfolded at a humble abode. In a hidden corner of the house, amidst a carefully crafted oasis for avian visitors, a captivating video was captured by @jpdelaharpe. The footage revealed a birth of natural splendor, unfolding from a little spring that cascaded like a gentle waterfall. This picturesque scene was home to a special place where birds came to quench their thirst and find respite.

Among the many feathered guests, a stunning Green-backed Firecrown stole the spotlight. Bathing in the dwindling light of the day, this delicate hummingbird gracefully indulged in its last refreshing dip. In this arid region, where bodies of water are scarce, the small waterfall became a sanctuary for an array of species. With over 40 different bird species documented in this oasis, the allure of capturing their essence through the lens was irresistible. Slow-motion recording added a touch of magic to the encounter, unveiling intricate details of the Green-backed Firecrown's vibrant plumage.
