Çağan Şekercioğlu Instagram – With a world population of only 250 to 999 birds, globally #Endangered Gray-bellied Comets (#Taphrolesbia griseiventris) are found only in an area of 28,000 km2 (~ the area of Massachusetts). With a long tail, glittering green back, and blue-purple throat, this elegant #hummingbird is #endemic to the #Andes of northern #Peru and is found in arid #mountain slopes and canyons with sparse vegetation, around 3000 m asl. I was very lucky and happy to photograph it.
1000 bireyden az dünya nüfusuyla küresel çapta soyu tehlikede bir sinekkuşu (kolibri) türü olan Gri Karınlı Peri (#Taphrolesbia griseiventris), sadece Peru’nun kuzeyindeki And Dağları’nın kurak kanyonlarında, deniz seviyesinden yaklaşık 3000 metre yükseklikte 28,000 km2 lik (Sivas kadar) bir alanda yaşar. Çok az noktadan bilinen bu zarif kuşu görmek büyük bir şanstı.
