Why the bright colors? In the jungle, where the light is dimmer, these colors aren't bright. The various colors brake up his contours and helps hide his shape from predators.

The Sword-billed Hummingbird is a charismatic species from Andean South America. It is found from Venezuela and Colombia in the north to Bolivia in the south. The species belongs to a monotypic genus, Ensifera, and is quite different from all other hummingbirds; metallic green and bronzed overall, with a black bill that is slightly upcurved and longer than the body length. This is the only bird species with a bill length that exceeds the body length. When seen perched, the species usually holds its bill quite upright, presumably because of balance issues stemming from this long and relatively heavy structure.

Its long bill is short only in comparison with the very similar Long-billed Dowitcher. This one looks like a non-breeding adult.
Taken near Fort Myers, Florida.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
A female broad-billed hummingbird emerges from the shadows at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. If I were to choose my perfect bokeh, it would not be beige, but living in the desert there tends to be a bit of beige around. So you shoot what you see. At least the hummingbird brings a sparkle of green to the scene.
I don't usually photograph the Gulls but this one was so close and posing quit well so I fired off a quick shot.
Unlike most terns, the Gull-billed Tern has a broad diet and does not depend on fish. Instead it commonly feeds on insects, small crabs, and other prey snatched from the ground, air, or even bushes. It is also known to eat small chicks of other tern species.

"Strong legs and a long, decurved bill give Curve-billed Thrashers the perfect tools for hunting insects in the punishing deserts, canyons, and brushlands that are its home. That long bill also keeps long-legged insect prey at a safe distance and comes in handy for foraging and nesting among spiny plants, especially cacti. This species is so typical of the deserts of the American Southwest and northern Mexico that its whistled whit-wheet call is often the first vocalization that visiting bird watchers learn." - Cornell Lab of Ornithology

Stork-Billed Kingfisher, Pelargopsis capensis, Pekaka Emas
This is a very large kingfisher, measuring up to 38 cm in length. The call of this species is noisy. Stork-billed kingfisher is a species of a variety of well-wooded habitats near lakes, rivers or coasts. It perches quietly whilst seeking food, and is often inconspicuous despite its size. It is territorial and will chase away eagles and other large predators. This species hunts fish, frogs, crabs, rodents and young birds. The nest is dig in a river bank, in the decaying tree, or maybe a tree termite nest.
Red-billed Scythebill is a widespread woodcreeper of southern Central America and the lowlands of South America. This beautiful songbird is found from Panama south through much of northern and central South America in the under- and midstory of a variety of woodland types, typically below 1000 meters in elevation. This species is highly distinctive in most of its range, where it can be identified by its exceedingly long, decurved, red bill, and generally rusty olive plumage, with buffy streaking on the head, upper back, and chest. Red-billed Scythebill feeds on arboreal invertebrates by hitching along trunks and limbs, and often accompanies mixed flocks of other songbirds.
