INCA JAY

Out of hundreds of beautiful birds we photographed in Colombia recently, the Inca Jay has to be at the top of the list for beauty. When I saw this fellow fly by and land I could not believe my eyes. I fired off about fifty shots in four seconds with most being good. Usually I don’t like bright lighting in the background, but I loved how this image worked out with the light surrounding the tail area. The combination of yellow, pastel green, bright blue, white,black, and aqua in this species as well as the unusual bright blue frontal crest are unique.

The Incas were an Indian people who lived from the thirteenth century in an area around their capital Cuzco in present-day Peru. From 1438, when Pachacuti took the throne as the ninth Sapa Inca, the Incas started an unprecedented expansion in the difficult Andean region !!

Taken at Ecuador - Zuro Loma Reserve, for a peaceful Travel Tuesday!

 

The collared inca is a large hummingbird and an extremely quick flier that generally stays below the canopy of moss-laden cloudforests. Both males and females have white outer tail feathers and large white chest patches, both in strong contrast to its otherwise dark plumage. While haunting its dark, understory habitat, its generally dark plumage keeps it well hidden, and the first sign of its presence is the flashing open of its mostly white tail. identifies itself in the forest by flashing open its mostly white tail. It prefers long, pendulous, tubular flowers, hovering underneath to feed. Unlike the majority of hummingbirds, the collared inca appears especially prone to join mixed species foraging flocks of passerines, at least for short periods of time. Several studies have investigated its reproductive biology, but there is much to learn about this large, flashy, Andean hummingbird.
