Long-tailed sylph - side view, La Planada Nature Reserve, Colombia This male of the Long-tailed sylph species is a common guest around the accommodations of La Planada Nature Reserve. Or rather we are the guests, I suppose. We named it Hugo. It is more often heard then seen, as you hear the rapid drum-like sounds of it speeding by, sometimes only a few inches from your head. It seems to like some particular fruiting trees in the gardens. <br /> <br /> More coverage on Hugo later in the set, this was only the first meeting.<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/76392/long-tailed_sylph_la_planada_nature_reserve_colombia.html" title="Long-tailed sylph, La Planada Nature Reserve, Colombia"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2/76392_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=yOcf5NUhjMWxpDDC%2BT%2BvyPCNRO8%3D" width="200" height="168" alt="Long-tailed sylph, La Planada Nature Reserve, Colombia This male of the Long-tailed sylph species is a common guest around the accommodations of La Planada Nature Reserve.
