Pleione Tolima (P. formosana x P. pleionoides hybrid) flower was well formed this year, whiles last year the flower was deformed. Pleione orchids are miniature orchids with large flowers that in the wild grow on foothills and in mountain areas of East and South East countries. Native names include Glory of the East, Himalayan crocus, Indian crocus. 23 wild Pleione species are known (though some argue there are 21 true species) but 362 man-made hybrids are officially registered by the RHS. Hybrids could be conveniently grown on a windowsill due to their miniature size but large showy flowers hens their common names Peacock orchids and Windowsill orchids.
This lovely hummingbird is endemic to Columbia, South America. Tolima Blossomcrowns are found on the eastern slopes of the central Andean mountain range between 4000 and 7,500 feet.
I photographed this White-vented Plumeleteer (Chalybura buffonii) at Finca EcoturÃstica San Javier, in the vereda Chucunà near Ibagué, Tolima, Colombia. It is found in Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru, from sea level to about 2,000 meters. The male has a bluish green throat and belly and a blue breast. Its nest is a cup of plant down bound with spiderweb and covered outside with moss and lichen. In addition to nectar, it catches small arthropods by hawking from a perch. IUCN lists it as Least Concern.
I used a Canon R5 with the RF 800mm f/11 for this one, at 1/250 sec, f/11, ISO 3200, −0.5 EV. Finca San Javier offers guided birding as part of its work to help conserve the tropical dry forest of the Chucunà area.

This Tolima Dove (Leptotila conoveri) was at Ukuku Rural Lodge in Juntas, Tolima, Colombia when I photographed it. It is found only in Colombia. It lives mostly inside and along the edges of humid subtropical forest, between about 1,200 and 2,500 meters. It builds a shallow bowl nest of heavy twigs in bushes or small trees, usually no more than 2 meters up. Much of its original habitat is gone, but it seems to adapt to secondary forest and coffee plantations. Juntas is a rural district of Ibagué in the Combeima Canyon, a buffer zone of Los Nevados National Natural Park where more than 300 bird species have been recorded.
I made this frame with a Pentax K-1 and the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6, at 1/250 sec, f/5.6, ISO 6400. IUCN lists the Tolima Dove as Near Threatened, with a decreasing population.

This White-throated Tyrannulet (Mecocerculus leucophrys) was at Los Nevados National Natural Park in Murillo, Tolima, Colombia when I photographed it. It usually forages alone or in pairs and regularly joins mixed-species flocks. While foraging it often gives a pit or pif note. Its nest is a cup of plant fibers, wool, moss and spiderweb. It occurs in most or all of the protected areas within its range. Murillo, at about 3,000 meters, is the highest town in Tolima, and the western edge of the municipality takes in the peaks of Nevado del Ruiz.
I made this frame with a Pentax K-1 and the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6, at 1/500 sec, f/5.6, ISO 3200. IUCN lists the White-throated Tyrannulet as Least Concern, with a decreasing population.

I photographed this White-vented Plumeleteer (Chalybura buffonii) at Entreaguas Reserva Natural, near Coello in Ibagué, Tolima, Colombia, at about 1,187 meters. The species is considered uncommon to fairly common in most areas and seems able to tolerate some habitat disturbance. Its population is estimated at no fewer than 500,000 mature individuals, though it is believed to be decreasing. It is found from Panama to Peru, from sea level up to about 2,000 meters. IUCN lists it as Least Concern. Females lack the male's blue breast. It is 10.5 to 12 centimeters long.
I made this frame with a Canon R5 and the RF 800mm f/11, at 1/350 sec, f/11, ISO 3200. Entreaguas, in the Coello–Cocora area of Ibagué, offers ecological walks and birdwatching tours.

I photographed this White-mantled Barbet (Capito hypoleucus) at Reserva Santa Librada in LÃbano, Tolima, Colombia. Its population is declining, mainly because of habitat loss. The Red Book of the Birds of Colombia notes that it has lost 60 percent of its historic habitat. Females have a black spot at the base of the lower bill. It is found only in Colombia, in the middle Magdalena Valley between about 200 and 1,800 meters. By eBird's December 2021 data, 180 bird species had been reported at Santa Librada, including the Tolima Dove. Coffee is the center of LÃbano's economy and culture.
I made this frame with a Pentax K-1 and the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6, at 1/250 sec, f/5.6, ISO 400. IUCN lists the White-mantled Barbet as Least Concern, with a decreasing population.

I photographed this Crimson-backed Tanager (Ramphocelus dimidiatus) at Entreaguas Reserva Natural, near Coello in Ibagué, Tolima, Colombia. The species feeds on insects, fruit and seeds, mostly in the undergrowth and middle levels at forest edges. In the breeding season it forages in pairs or family groups, and outside it in flocks of its own species. In Colombia, nests have been found in many months of the year. Its most common call is a nasal chank. IUCN lists it as Least Concern. Its closest relative is the Masked Crimson Tanager.
I used a Canon R5 with the RF 800mm f/11 for this one, at 1/500 sec, f/11, ISO 3200. Entreaguas, in the Coello–Cocora area of Ibagué, offers ecological walks and birdwatching tours.

I photographed this Black-chested Jay (Cyanocorax affinis) at Urapanes del Bosque in Cajamarca, Tolima, Colombia, at about 2,030 meters, in October 2020, with its black head, dark violet-blue upperparts, white belly and bright yellow eye. It is about 34 centimeters long, and males and females look alike. Its face has violet-blue spots above and below the eye and a violet-blue stripe at the base of the bill. It is found in Colombia, northwestern Venezuela, Panama and far eastern Costa Rica, and its population is stable. IUCN lists it as Least Concern.
I made this frame with a Pentax K-1 and the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6, at 1/250 sec, f/7.1, ISO 1600. Cajamarca, whose name means 'cold land' in Quechua, is known as Colombia's agricultural larder.

Taken from El Ensueño, El Nevado del Tolima is one of Colombia's six snowcapped peaks. Normally this one is cloud covered and not visible from here, a distance of about 40 km, but it appeared on January 26, 2019.

Small hummingbird mostly confined to Colombia’s central Andes, also reaching the eastern Andes in the southern part of the country. Both sexes have a large, white teardrop behind the eye and pale tips to the tail. Male has a chestnut crown that becomes white where it reaches the bill. Inhabits cloud forest and feeds on small flowers at low levels.
This one was photographed in Colombia guided by Neotropic Photo Tours.
Happy to have the opportunity to admire this beautiful hamming bird that is rare and in risk of extinction. Endemic of Tolima department, Colombia.
