A Marvelous Spatula Tale

A nearly extinct species of hummingbird has been captured on film for the first time demonstrating its spatula-crazed mating dance. The aptly named Marvelous Spatuletail lives in a single, isolated valley in northern Peru. There are only 350 - 1,000 thought left to exist. The video really is extraordinary.

This is truly amazing. Of course, since this is the first such video, how do we know if this particular little guy is doing it right?
