Sword-billed hummingbird - beak highlight, Jardin, Colombia
This is a rotated crop of this glorious bird, just to highlight the length of its beak. It is impossible for this bird to actually stand as suggested in this shot, it has to tilt its head upwards all the time.
The sword-billed hummingbird is a neotropical species of hummingbird from the Andean regions of South America. It is the sole member of the genus "Ensifera" and is characterized by its unusually long bill size; it is the only bird to have a beak longer than the length of its body.
