December 28, 2023

I am a Sword-billed Hummingbird
My beak is longer that my bod
I appear to have a human-like sclera
But that's just my postocular whitespot.

(Note from Dee: I am now officially retired from high tech and working with David full time. First up: we recently returned from a trip to Ecuador and I am writing a new book tentatively titled, "The Rhyming Guide to Ecuador's Choco Andes Highlands", planned for a February release. For now, be on the lookout for book previews like this one here in the blog!)

Location: Reserva Yanacocha, Ecuador
