Summary
DescriptionWet male Antillean crested hummingbird (Orthorhyncus cristatus) in the Caribbean Islands of Nevis and St Kitts.jpg |
English: The hummingbird photo was taken in the Caribbean Islands of Nevis and St Kitts, of what is believed to be a male Antillean Crested Hummingbird Orthorhyncus cristatus. After a huge and dramatic storm, the hummingbird got really wet, and I was given this precious opportunity to take this photo, while the bird was drying off his feathers. The hummingbird was protecting his territory, and very often engaged in ferocious fights with his opponents. The hummingbird’s fights developed in the following way: The birds, in frontal flight, collided against each other, and began, in the air, to hit each other with their wings ((shaped (and as hard as) helicopter paddles)), while at the same time, the hummingbirds sting each other with their respective sharp beaks. This battle lasted a few seconds, and then the hummingbirds separated, from each other, by flying away. I followed the behavior of this particular hummingbird for a month. A female hummingbird lived on the property, nesting with two or three eggs.
Español: La foto del colibrí fue tomada en las islas caribeñas de Nevis y St Kitts, de lo que se cree que es un colibrí crestado antillano macho (Orthorhyncus cristatus). Después de una tormenta enorme y dramática, el colibrí se mojó mucho y tuve esta preciosa oportunidad de tomar esta foto, mientras el pájaro se secaba las plumas. El colibrí protegía su territorio y muy a menudo se involucraba en feroces peleas con sus oponentes. Las peleas de los colibríes se desarrollaron de la siguiente manera: Los pájaros, en vuelo frontal, chocaron entre sí, y comenzaban, en el aire, a golpearse con sus alas ((con forma (y duras como) paletas de helicóptero)), mientras al mismo tiempo, los colibríes se pican entre sí con sus respectivos picos afilados. Estas batallas duraban unos segundos, y luego los colibríes se separaban alejándose volando. Seguí el comportamiento de este colibrí en particular durante un mes. En la propiedad vivía una hembra de colibrí que anidaba con dos o tres huevos. |
