Izikhathi eziningi sibheka kukhanvasi kulabo imininingwane kanye nezici okusiholela ekugqugquzeleni noma ekuhlangabezaneni nokuthile okuhlaba umxhwele futhi kusenze siphuphe isikhashana. Lobo ubuhle obukhulu bobuciko uma buthinta lokho okungenakuchazwa ngamagama.
Leyo mfihlakalo esiyifuna ngamehlo nangemizwa yethu ezitholakala ezinhlotsheni eziningi zokuphila esinazo ezisizungezile, njengalezo zimpaphe okuthi, uma zidlula ngelensi yekhamera, zingasishiya sinkemile ngezinkulungwane zemininingwane yazo emincane ekubunjweni, ukuma kanye nombala.
Lokhu kwenzeka ngesithombe sikaRobert Clark esisibuyisela emhlabeni lapho inombolo enkulu yezinhlobo zezinyoni gcwalisa inqwaba yamakhasi akha incwadi yakhe ethi Feathers: Displays of Brilliant Plumage.

Kusukela ophapheni oluluhlaza oluhlobisa ikhanda le-Quetzal elisagolide eNingizimu Melika kuya kweleqhude lendabuko.
Isithakazelo sikaClark kulezi zilwane singenxa yesikhathi sobungane bakhe lapho wachitha amahora amaningi ebuka izinyoni ezifudukayo endaweni yakubo, Kansas. Ukuthakasela kwakukhula futhi uphenyo lwemfundiso kaDarwin yokuziphendukela kwemvelo lwaqala ukufunda ukuthi izinyoni zaziyingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu kanjani ekuthuthukisweni kwemibono ebaluleke kangaka.
Ngokuningi Iminyaka engu-15 ngisebenzela iNational Geographic, uye waphumela ekutholeni inqwaba yamakhava nezindondo eziningi ngomsebenzi wakhe wobuciko ekuthwebuleni izithombe.
