Named the Nike bird by us for the obvious reason, his(her) distinct wing marking.
Otherwise known as the black-cowled oriole.
They've decided to raise their family near our house.This pair take turns flying back and forth between the bananas and the hungry babies.
They are still a little camera shy but with hungry mouths to feed they tolerate me and the camera.
This little bandito aka "frito bandito" is seen sneaking around the yard a lot again lately. The different species come around depending on what fruit is ripe or what flowers are attracting a yummy kind of bug. The bandito has also been caught stealing coconut substrate from my plant baskets.
No two mornings are ever the same...
Mouse or not?
Callista's hands after practicing catch and release with a butterfly. Bill and I use pasta strainers. With so many butterflies around it's not uncommon to have them inside the house. And NO, contrary to what some may think I don't leave the doors open on intentionally & coax them in. We capture them with kindness and re-release them in the yard. Last night we chased a beautiful one around the house at 8:30pm. Always something crazy happening with nature around here. As much as I think I've adapted to nature I still don't want something fluttering over my head in the dark.
