The Long-Tail'd Green Huming Bird by George Edwards The Tail-feathers are of the most shining Beauty that can be imagined, appearing sometimes of a shining Blue-colour, and upon a little turn will change Greenish, then again into a Colour mixed with a bright golden Splendor; the Feathers, all over the Body, have something of a shining golden Lustre, but nothing in comparison with the Beauty of the Tail.
