Broad-tailed Hummingbird, New Mexico.
I know some very fine journalists, but the newspapers (and their e-descendents) are my prime source for all sorts of nonsense. Get this one, from today’s Southampton Press:

Gracias, conquistadores!

Gah! And their spelling (both in Spanish and in English) is about as credible as their history and biogeography…. Oh well, hug a conquistador today!
