#BirdsSeenIn2026, #Ecuador, #Manabi The rains brought the MIA migratory Eastern Kingbirds, several months overdue! Welcome back kingbirds! The rains seemed to electrify the feathers of the Purple Gallinule. A resident Yellow-rumped Cacique appeared - maybe it's considering nesting options.

Nature Always Vanishes at Night open.substack.com/pub/georgets... YOW! A white oleander permeates the air with fragrance; in the Americas, the bottlebrush is a hummingbird-popular tree. Just yesterday a friend wrote and told how her neighbor had butchered her trees for the same reason.

@petchary.bsky.social Emma, not sure if you've seen this... Josh - what a labor of love and of compassion, not to mention standing tall in the eye of a hurricane. Thank you for trying to lasso all that happened and allowing us to experience it through your eyes and soul.

#BirdsSeenIn2025, #birds, #ecuador Several hours at Portoviejo's "Jardin Botanico" provided nonstop birding entertainment. One never tires of seeing the lovely Cocoi Heron. Or the unique Red-billed Scythebill.

#BirdsSeenIn2025, #birds, #Ecuador Jardin Botanico/Portoviejo - Lurking in deep shadows of scrubby trees, the Greater Anis (Crotophaga major) looked more like black turkeys than Anis! Eventually the neighborhood feathered residents chased these intruders to other perches and better view!
