Description

The great blackbird (Turdus fuscater) is a species native to the Andes, but it is considered invasive in some areas of the Bogotá Savannah. There, it has displaced native birds with less aggressive habits. Its melodic song and adaptability have made it a symbol of the city, even inhabiting artificial structures. This image, captured on a rainy afternoon in Bogotá with a Sony 90mm macro lens, reveals its dark plumage and dominant presence on a lamppost in detail. The photograph presents a duality: the charm of the bird's appearance and song versus the silent impact it has on the ecosystem. It is a photograph that invites us to take a deeper look at what we take for granted in everyday life.
