第一眼

江馆清秋,晨起看竹,烟光日影露气,皆浮动于疏枝密叶之间。

—— 清·郑板桥《题画竹》

郑板桥说他画竹,是先看见“烟光日影露气”在枝叶间浮动,才动手。看画时找这一层空气,比记住花的名字更要紧。这一幅是竖的:眼睛从下往上走,落点在中段那只鸟身上。先别急着看羽毛,让姿态先立起来。第二步凑近一寸:看线与色的交界,色有没有压住线,线有没有断。第三步,把视线放到最深的那一小块:整幅的用色秩序,都是从那里排开的。

The banks of the Rio Napo and the Rio Not

The bird figured in the accompanying Plate must not be confounded with either of the species I have mentioned in my account of Glaucis hirsutus; it is much smaller than either of them, and moreover has a far greater amount of black colouring in its tail—the extreme base, and that only of the inner webs of the feathers, being marked with chestnut; in fact, when the tail is closed and viewed from beneath, it appears to be entirely black, the under coverts concealing the buff colouring at its base.

I possess two specimens of this bird, one of which was received from the Napo, the other, a very fine one, from the Rio Negro.

Centre of the throat, chest, and under surface buff; a streak of dark brown passes downwards from the base of the lower mandible, between which and the ear-coverts is a stripe of buff; there is also a line of buff behind the eye; crown of the head brown; back of the neck, upper surface, and two middle tail-feathers golden-green; upper tail-coverts narrowly edged with grey; basal portion of the inner webs and the shafts of the four lateral tail-feathers rich reddish-buff approaching to chestnut, the remainder of these feathers being black, tipped with white; bill black, except the under base of the mandible, which is yellow.

The figures in the accompanying Plate are as near the size of life as possible. The plant is the Siphocampylus Orbignianus.
