Today I bring you a flock of Bananaquits morning feeding on mangoes. I wasn't looking for this type of bird but couldn't resist the temptation to fire away at this feeding frenzy during a hot August morning here in Puerto Rico. As you can see, it was a good breakfast treat. Enjoy!!! “Never waste any amount of time doing anything important when there is a sunset outside that you should be sitting under!” ― C. JoyBell C. Enjoy!!! As the Sun Goes DownIt's Orange Bishop mating season. As you can see lots of females and males gather around a tree. Enjoy!!! Orange Bishops Everywhere!The pin-tailed whydah (Vidua macroura) is a small songbird. It is a resident breeding bird in most of Africa south of the Sahara Desert. It has also been introduced to southern California and Puerto Rico. This whydah is found in many open habitats including open woodland, scrub and cultivation. The pin-tailed whydah is 12–13 cm in length, although the breeding male's tail adds another 20 cm to this. The adult male has a black back and crown, and a very long black tail. The wings are dark brown with white patches, and the underparts and the head, apart from the crown, are white. The bill is bright red. Enjoy!!!
