Finally succeeded getting the parrots! They are so skittish but this morning I stayed in the car and was able to get right up under the tree.
Thought it was time for a very cool bug…although I am not sure what he is. He has some pretty serious armor though. (Chiriqui, Panama)
Might be some hummingbirds coming… I believe this little lovely is a jacobin…
I once met a Vervet monkey with one blue eye…(I kid you not-click to enlarge) I wrote him this little freak anthem.
Monkey monkey
You look wrong
mixed-up eyes
just don’t belong.
What a sight!
What’s the story?
One blue eye
in all its glory?
Are you weird?
A monkey freak?
An oddity?
A furry geek?
Or maybe you’re
a special kind
and one blue eye
is quite refined?
Monkey monkey
you’re no fool.
Your one blue eye
is pretty cool!

Peace on Earth. Merry Christmas and warm winter wishes.
Yellow-billed Oxpecker hanging out in a giraffe mohawk. I love these little birds and their unique transportation philosophy. They feed on the ticks of large, short-haired mammals. Hunters–and poachers hate them as they are very alert to danger and warn their moving food supply of the potential risk at hand, which is a very good thing indeed!
