Ruby Topaz, Inírida, Colombia Given how gorgeous this bird is (check other photos online), this photo does not do justice to its beauty. I'm still very happy for seeing it, although it has a sizable range, it is not that often seen. At the very least, our guide was extremely excited that we saw this, which he only found out minutes ago, it was not in the checklist we maintained.
