RM2AGJ3HA–Ornithology: Breeding and Nests: The sparkling-tailed woodstar (Tilmatura dupontii), aka the sparkling-tailed hummingbird, is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae found in Central America. Females tend to nest in the same location, especially if previously successful, nesting in the same tree or bush year after year. The nest is usually on a horizontal limb, occasionally in herbaceous plants, often over or near a stream and composed of lichen, leaves, shredded bark, plant fibers, lined with plant down from the undersides of leaves or spider's silk.
