Description

The Long-tailed Sylph (Aglaiocercus kingii) is captured in this exquisite photograph taken in the Cañon del Combeima, Tolima, Colombia. Known for its iridescent emerald green plumage and exceptionally long tail feathers, the male Long-tailed Sylph is a true marvel of nature. This photograph highlights the bird perched elegantly on a flowering branch, showcasing its vibrant colors and elongated tail in sharp detail against a blurred, natural background.

As a dedicated bird photographer and conservationist from California, my work is driven by a passion to preserve and highlight the world's diverse avian species. This image, taken in the lush cloud forests above 2,500 meters, not only emphasizes the sylph’s stunning beauty but also its unique habitat. The Long-tailed Sylph is endemic to the Andes and a symbol of Colombia's rich biodiversity.

This piece is perfect for art collectors and nature enthusiasts who appreciate the intricate beauty of wildlife and the importance of environmental conservation.
