EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored steel engraving showcases the vibrant plumage and distinctive features of the male Wedge-tailed Sabrewing, Campylopterus pampa. The Wedge-tailed Sabrewing, also known as the Pampa Sabrewing or Ornismya pampa, is a species of hummingbird native to South America. This male individual is adorned with iridescent green and purple feathers on its back, a metallic green belly, and a long, curved, and wedge-shaped tail. The wings are adorned with white tips and black bands, creating a striking contrast against the brightly colored body. The illustration was produced by the renowned French naturalist and artist, Jean-Gabriel Pretre, and beautifully rendered in steel engraving by Coutant. The artwork was originally published in Rene Primevere's "Lessons Natural History of the Colibri Genus of Hummingbirds," a comprehensive work on the natural history of hummingbirds, published in Paris by Arthus Betrand in 1830. The Wedge-tailed Sabrewing is a relatively small hummingbird, measuring only about 3.5 inches in length. They are found in open habitats, such as grasslands and savannas, in Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay. These birds feed primarily on nectar from long-tubed flowers, and they are important pollinators in their native habitats. Despite their beauty and ecological significance, the Wedge-tailed Sabrewing is not considered a threatened species, but their populations are believed to be declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation. This image offers a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating hummingbird species and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the habitats that support them and countless other species of wildlife.
