I did a bit of traveling in my last job before retiring and was able to see a lot of wonderful sights along the way.

One of the favorite birds we saw in Costa Rica was this Collared Aracari.

My #HumansOfBlueSky submission is the scorpion seller in the food court of Beijing.

I tried one. It was crunchy and not too bad.

Today's alternate #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Blue.

I don’t know why this White-necked Jacobin doesn’t have blue in its name.

The #SmallbirdSaturday theme is perfect for me this week as our trip to Costa Rica comes to an end.

We spotted this Rufous-tailed Jacamar in the forests of the Tapir Valley Nature Reserve.

With apologies to Rob and Alan, for today's #BirdOfTheDay, I’m going to go against theme and post a beautiful Scarlet Macaw I was fortunate enough to see in Costa Rica a couple of days ago.

We have a Bald Eagle here complaining about something. Maybe I’m too close or maybe it doesn’t like the wind?

Never in the history of modern democracies has a ‘leader’ been able to write such utter bile about a citizen of the country. How the Senate, Congress and Press let him get away with this day in, day out will never not astonish me.

I had to wait until after our hike in the Monteverde Cloud Forest today to post my #FavouriteOfTheMonth for the #BirdOfTheDay theme.

We were hoping to spot a Resplendent Quetzal and we were treated to five! The last one was the most visible so my favorite shot this month is an easy choice.
