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

Number 10/10 of my hummingbird series. I'll do another series later in the year.

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.

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.

I made this photo of a Sword-billed Hummingbird (Ensifera ensifera) at the Observatorio de Colibríes in La Calera, near Bogotá, Colombia. The Sword-billed Hummingbird uses its bill to drink from flowers with long corollas and has coevolved with the passionflower Passiflora mixta. It is a trap-line feeder, visiting flowers on a regular circuit. It perches with its bill angled upward to ease the strain of the heavy beak. The Observatorio de Colibríes sits at about 3,000 meters in high Andean forest, in the vereda Frailejonal of La Calera, near Bogotá. IUCN lists the Sword-billed Hummingbird as Least Concern, with a decreasing population.
I used a Pentax K-1 with the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6 for this one, at 1/125 sec, f/5.6, ISO 1600. Visits are limited to groups of 20 and to Tuesday through Saturday, because, as the founder says, the hummingbirds also need a rest from people.

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.

Kabuki, 4th March 2093
I patrol these streets once again.
Since the first rain, the world hasn't been the same.
I remember when the streets were crowded with children…
with hope.
People used to have dreams.
Now we barely sleep.
Only these neon signs remain… of what the city once was.
Survival is now the only goal —
to live another day.
The rains fall harder every day. I've seen loved ones change…
they become something else.
Maybe I will too, someday.
Yes. I know I will.
Eventually.
I used to believe I could save people.
That I could protect them.
Time taught me the truth.
In this world, only the strong survive.
And Kabuki has slowly forgotten,
what it once was.

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.
The only bird known to science to have a beak longer than the rest of its body. To fully appreciate, please ZOOM IN.

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?
