The black-throated bushtit is the name of this bird, and we’re not making it up. The handsome guy, sometimes known as the black-throated tit, is just around 10.5 centimeters (4 inches) long and weighs 4-9 grams (0.14-0.317 ounces).
Chen Chengguang, a Taiwanese wildlife photographer who specializes in bird photography, has caught these birds in ways that really do them honor. The fluffy and colorful plumage in Chengguang’s photographs is so apparent that you can’t help but wonder what it would be like to touch these wonderful birds.
