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

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 two sides of the building show different structures due to the reflection of the sun.

Thank you for your likes and comments very much appreciated
The Swordbill, sans tail, is the only bird whose bill length exceeds its body's. Its distribution mirrors that of the Tasconia passion flowers. Zuro Loma.

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!

Ensifera ensifera (Sword-billed hummingbird / colibrí picoespada)
The sword-billed hummingbird (Ensifera ensifera), also known as the swordbill, is a neotropical species of hummingbird from the Andean regions of South America.
Among the largest species of hummingbird, it is characterized by its unusually long bill, being the only bird to have a beak longer than the rest of its body, excluding the tail. It uses its bill to drink nectar from flowers with long corollas. While most hummingbirds preen using their bills, the sword-billed hummingbird uses its feet to scratch and preen due to its bill being so long.

The monument Sverd i fjell (Swords in rock). This was where Harald Fairhair gathered Norway into one kingdom in 872. The monument consists of three swords that are fixed into the grown. They symbolise peace, unity and freedom. The hilts of the Viking swords are taken from swords found in different parts of the country. The monument is made by Fritz Røed (1928-2002), and was unveiled by King Olav in 1983.
This picture was taken during the Magic Nature, Birding, Photo Circuit of Ecuador at San Jorge Ecolodges and Botanical Reserves network.

Sword-billed Hummingbird -_MG_6391-Edit-Edit
Gladiolus flowers bloom on a long spike that ranges from 2 to 4 feet tall.
These beauties open from the bottom and work their way upwards creating a long spire of blooms.
The grass-like foliage resembles the blade of a sword giving these flowers a reputation as sword flowers.
The blooms range in colour from bold orange and red to pastel blues, pinks and yellows, lilacs, whites and purple.
The gladiolus flower symbolises honour and remembrance, but it has other meanings too.
It can also symbolise the following:
•Strength of character
•Faithfulness, sincerity and integrity
•Infatuation
•Never giving up
Purple, specifically means: Charm, grace and mysteriousness.
Have a charmed day and thank you, M, (*_*)

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.
A Swords of Sanghelios Grunt and Halo 5 Arbiter.
I have to say I was a little disappointed in the Halo 5 campaign, but I did like Arbiter's design, and Arbiter being my favorite character in all of gaming I figured I'd make him.
The base designs for these figures were not designed by me, but they were edited by me. I'm not sure who orginally did the designs I mentioned, but Elite credit may go to TRSLegofan?
