La historia
I photographed this Canivet’s Emerald (Cynanthus canivetii) at Hacienda Montecristo near Santa Rosa de Copán, Honduras. Males are only about 8 to 9 centimeters long and have a forked tail; the female’s tail is shorter and less deeply forked. In Honduras the species belongs to the subspecies osberti, which ranges from Chiapas to western Nicaragua, and across most of its range it lives from sea level up to about 1,900 meters. IUCN lists it as Least Concern.
I photographed him with a Canon R5 and the RF 800mm f/11 plus the RF 1.4x extender, at 1/60 sec, f/16, ISO 3200. Santa Rosa de Copán held its first bird festival in agosto de 2022, organized by the local COAS Copán club, and I was glad to take part as a speaker.
