EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the vibrant beauty and tender care of four adult hummingbirds (Ornithorhynchus moschatus, Ornithorhynchus vieilloti, Ornithorhynchus sasin, and Ornithorhynchus mellivorus) as they protectively hover over their chicks in a nest. Dating back to the 1850s, this historical image offers a rare glimpse into the lives of these captivating birds, which were first described in scientific literature during this period. The adult hummingbirds, with their iridescent feathers shimmering in the sunlight, display the stunning colors and intricate patterns that make these birds so beloved. The young chicks, still covered in downy feathers, cling to the branches of the nest, which is expertly woven from plant fibers and spider silk. The scene is filled with the delicate details of the natural world, from the colorful flowers and leaves surrounding the nest, to the intricate branches that provide the perfect perch for the adult birds. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of hummingbirds, which have been admired for their beauty and agility for centuries. The hummingbirds, native to the Americas, are known for their unique ability to hover in mid-air, using their rapid wing beats to feed on nectar from flowers. This photograph captures the essence of their grace and agility, as well as their role as dedicated parents. This image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring allure of hummingbirds and the natural world. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world, and to marvel at the wonders of nature that continue to inspire and delight us.
