One of several mixed flocks under constant observation on Jungle Dave's Farm.
Interesting after years of eBird use, learning about populations, birthing and molting, dynamics, bird diets, and altitude ranges.
Onto the next steps!!

The observation of birds is only one step in the SCIENTIFIC METHOD, the process of learning.
It all begins with a question; here, we ask:
What is the interaction between hummingbirds and butterflies with native and introduced flowers?

Fluorescence in nature...

Note the multiple double bonds and aromatic rings in the complex structure of this fluorescent compound.

In short, light of one wavelength, in this case, high energy Ultra-violet light, is absorbed by these compounds, and is subsequently emitted at a lower energy wavelength, visible in our spectrum of vision, green. This is due to the different electron orbitals shared between the double bonds and aromatic rings of the compound, resulting in an intense fluorescent characteristic.

NOTE: The scorpion and Biologist were both unharmed in the video shown.

La "Hyloscirtus tigrinus", una criatura mágica que vive en riachuelos altoandinos de Ecuador y Colombia. Esta En Peligro debido a la combinación de una distribución pequeña y la pérdida de hábitat. Las especies invasoras como la trucha, así como las enfermedades emergentes y el Cambio climático, son otras amenazas que podrían diezmar sus poblaciones.
