Marico Sunbird - Nature's Pairs

A Marico Sunbird male and female. I only include this photograph (not a real work of art) as a species identification, showing both the male and female together in one shot. Clearly the male is much more vibrant and colorful, but that is how things work in the avian world.

I just want to say that you made the right call here. I know you set a very high standard for yourself, but as you say, this photo has educational value. Plus, it is still of a high quality, so don't be too strict on yourself. Posted 10 years ago
