Plate 102: Fork-tailed Woodnymph, Thalurania furcata refulgens (John Gould's A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds, Vol.2, 1849-61) This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph showcases the vibrant beauty of the Fork-tailed Woodnymph, Thalurania furcata refulgens. The image captures the bird in mid-flight, its long, slender body and distinctive forked tail feathers creating an elegant silhouette against the azure sky. The Woodnymph's iridescent blue belly and emerald-green back are brilliantly depicted, highlighting the intricate anatomy of this remarkable avian species. The Woodnymph is perched on a branch, its long, curved bill delicately probing the nectar-filled flowers of an angiosperm, or flowering plant. The rich, vibrant hues of the flowers provide a striking contrast against the bird's dazzling plumage. The detail in the lithograph is truly remarkable, from the intricate veining on the wings to the delicate filaments on the Woodnymph's feet. This image is taken from John Gould's seminal work, A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds, published between 1849 and 1861. Gould's meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accurately recording the natural world made his works a treasure trove for ornithologists and naturalists of the 19th century. The Fork-tailed Woodnymph, with its striking appearance and graceful flight, is a fitting subject for this magnificent work. The Woodnymph is a member of the Apodiformes order, a group of birds characterized by their long, thin legs and their ability to hover in mid-air while feeding. They are important pollinators, and their role in the ecosystem is essential for the reproduction of many flowering plants. The image captures the Woodnymph in its natural habitat, feeding during the daytime, a testament to the delicate balance between birds and the angiosperms they rely on for survival.
