WONDERFUL FACTS - Which is the smartest animal ...
Dolphins are well-documented as intelligent animals ... As Discovery News reports, the dolphin's large brain is structured for awareness and emotion. In fact, dolphinbrains are more structurally complex than humans. (Jul 15, 2016) 🐬
Happy birding 🐾
This little Yellow-billed Oxpecker is sitting on the “boss” of Buffalo.
The oxpecker-mammal relationship is more complex than was previously thought. These little birds feed almost exclusively on what they can clean from the skin of large African mammals.

also known as sulfur-breasted toucan or rainbow-billed toucan.
Why the bright colors? In the jungle, where the light is dimmer, these colors aren't bright. The various colors brake up his contours and helps hide his shape from predators.
Had a great day out in Portland Bill yesterday and the light was just perfect in every way. Made very good use of my K5 with a circular Polerizing filter
This shoveler couple was at the lake the other day; caught the in flight, but the thing that I noted was the light coming through their bills from the hole in the backside!

Cyclarhis nigrirostris
(Black-billed Peppershrike / Verderón piquinegro)
The Black-billed Peppershrike is a distinctive songbird of northwestern South America. Found in the subtropical zone on Andean slopes between 1300 and 2700 meters in elevation, this peppershrike inhabits canopy of humid forest in its range in Colombia and Ecuador.
As it remains hidden in the canopy of the forest, the best way to detect the Black-billed Peppershrike is by listening for the song, a rich warbling song composed of short, separated phrases.
Black-billed Peppershrike (Cyclarhis nigrirostris), In Neotropical Birds Online (T. S. Schulenberg, Editor). Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Ithaca, NY, USA. retrieved from Neotropical Birds Online: neotropical.birds.cornell.edu/Species-Account/nb/species/...
The Sword-billed Hummingbird is a charismatic species from Andean South America. It is found from Venezuela and Colombia in the north to Bolivia in the south. The species belongs to a monotypic genus, Ensifera, and is quite different from all other hummingbirds; metallic green and bronzed overall, with a black bill that is slightly upcurved and longer than the body length. This is the only bird species with a bill length that exceeds the body length. When seen perched, the species usually holds its bill quite upright, presumably because of balance issues stemming from this long and relatively heavy structure.

For me one of the most amazing hummingbirds of Ecuador! Taken at the amazing Zuro Loma Reserve.

293) LongBilled Spiderhuter
Long-Billed Spiderhunter, Arachnothera robusta, Kelicap Jantung Paruh Panjang
This spiderhunter can be found in the rainforest of SouthEast Asia. Usually hunting in the highest part of the canopy, thus not easy to spot. The long bill is the obvious characteristic that differentiate it from another spiderhunter species.
The final in a series of this male Broad-Billed Hummingbird. I'm jus in love with the colors of this guy
Although it was not far away, this Broad-billed Motmot was perched quietly among vegetation (typical of members of the family) and it was by seeing the characteristic side-to-side movement of the tail that I located it. This individual was on the grounds of the Los Amigos Biological Station on the Rio Madre de Dios in the Amazon Basin in lowland southeastern Peru. [That spot also had the similar but larger Rufous Motmot (Baryphthengus martii), which I did not manage to photograph.]

The toucans quickly became my favorite bird to photograph, especially the Keel-billed Toucan. They were highest on my wish list and this was fulfilled just after we arrived at our lodge. They flew in often and I couldn't get enough of them.
This will be my last post for awhile as I will be off Flickr. Wishing everyone fabulous photo ops!
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

The Red billed Quelea is a small passerine bird of the Ploceidae family. It is found only in Africa. There are more Quelea than any other bird species in the world, they number over 1.5 billion. Single colonies may have as many as 30 million. This was a shot at a densely packed flock.
Red-billed Scythebill is a widespread woodcreeper of southern Central America and the lowlands of South America. This beautiful songbird is found from Panama south through much of northern and central South America in the under- and midstory of a variety of woodland types, typically below 1000 meters in elevation. This species is highly distinctive in most of its range, where it can be identified by its exceedingly long, decurved, red bill, and generally rusty olive plumage, with buffy streaking on the head, upper back, and chest. Red-billed Scythebill feeds on arboreal invertebrates by hitching along trunks and limbs, and often accompanies mixed flocks of other songbirds.

Stork-Billed Kingfisher, Pelargopsis capensis, Pekaka Emas
This is a very large kingfisher, measuring up to 38 cm in length. The call of this species is noisy. Stork-billed kingfisher is a species of a variety of well-wooded habitats near lakes, rivers or coasts. It perches quietly whilst seeking food, and is often inconspicuous despite its size. It is territorial and will chase away eagles and other large predators. This species hunts fish, frogs, crabs, rodents and young birds. The nest is dig in a river bank, in the decaying tree, or maybe a tree termite nest.
