La historia
I photographed this Bananaquit (Coereba flaveola) at the Jardín Botánico San Jorge in Ibagué, Tolima, Colombia. It uses a wide range of open and semi-open habitats, including gardens and parks. Its slender, curved bill is adapted for taking nectar, and it sometimes pierces flowers from the side to rob the nectar without pollinating them. It is about 10 to 13 centimeters long. This small, active nectar feeder lives in the warmer parts of the Americas and is generally common. Ibagué, the capital of Tolima, sits on the Central Andes between the Combeima Canyon and the Magdalena valley, near Nevado del Tolima.
I made this frame with a Pentax K-1 and the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6, at 1/800 sec, f/5.6, ISO 400, −1 EV. IUCN lists the Bananaquit as Least Concern, with a decreasing population.
