HMM- the macro mondays group's theme for today is cutter. it doesn't actually cut per se, but it symbolizes a sword that might have been used to cut in a major way by the scots in war. i measured this and it is 2 and 3/4ths of an inch long and is my favorite possibility for the day. - so there's probably no need to dither!!
dang, taking it into picmonkey to crop and clone
peeled off the EXIF data. so here it is taken from the original:

With the longest bill relative to body size of any bird in the world, this insane hummingbird makes the top of the "most wanted" list for most people. It occurs at high elevations above 8,000 feet in the Andes Mountains from Venezuela to Bolivia, where it feeds on deep tubular flowers. Hacienda El Bosque, Colombia
Taken in Ecuador during my stay at San Jorge Eco-Loges.
Thank you for your likes and comments very much appreciated.
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.

The "Stadttor" (translated: 'City Gate') is a 20-storey high-rise building in Düsseldorf, Germany. The building was designed by Düsseldorf-based architecture firm Petzinka Pink und Partner and completed in 1998.
The two sides of the building show different structures due to the reflection of the sun.

One of the most incredible species of hummingbird out there. We love that we get to see it on a number of our different bird photography expeditions in South America.
Take a look at that tongue in action!
This individual was photographed in the cloud forests of Ecuador, February 2023.
A single grain of rice can tip the scale. One man may be the difference between victory and defeat.

Sword-billed Hummingbird -_MG_6391-Edit-Edit
Gladiolus (from Latin, the diminutive of gladius, a sword) is a genus of perennial cormous flowering plants in the iris family (Iridaceae).
It is sometimes called the 'sword lily', but is usually called by its generic name (plural gladioli).
The genus occurs in Asia, Mediterranean Europe, South Africa, and tropical Africa. The center of diversity is in the Cape Floristic Region. The genera Acidanthera, Anomalesia, Homoglossum, and Oenostachys, formerly considered distinct, are now included in Gladiolus.
This picture was taken during the Magic Nature, Birding, Photo Circuit of Ecuador at San Jorge Ecolodges and Botanical Reserves network.
