Far forking out! It’s been over half a century (😳) since I’ve heard, let alone used, the slang phrase from the 60’s that embellished the then common phrase for “cool,” only this embellishment was a cleaned up version of the word originally used in that sense. But, the cleaned up phrase popped into my head when I was reviewing my images from my trip to Costa Rica this past March and I came across this gem. I thought to myself that it really was “far forking out!” I have lots of images of hummers with tongues out but this is the only image I’ve found that illustrates the bifurcation, or forking (get it?), of a hummingbird’s tongue. This is a male Bronze-tailed Plumeleteer sitting on the same branch of a coffee tree that the Plumeleteer I posted yesterday sat on, only I took this image two days later. Not only was he bifurcated, he was possessive.
