This fabulous little Easter egg is the Cuban Tody and like a good Easter egg hunt we had to really search for this colorful beauty before we found it. The Cuban Tody, I am told, is a pretty common bird across the island but for whatever reason we only found them when we really looked for them, I can’t remember just stumbling across any during our visit.

 

I hope this precious little bird brightens everyone’s day as much as it does mine. Happy Easter!

Compared to the Bee Hummingbird the Cuban Emerald is a giant! The emerald seems to be quite widespread, I think we saw them at every location we visited though it still took me several days before I managed to get a decent photo of one.

Chlorostilbon ricordii

 

This little bird with the jaunty tail is another species endemic to Cuba. Found in scrubby bush in coastal areas.

This is another shot of Cuba's national bird, the Cuban Trogon.

They are much more elusive (for me!) to see and photograph than the Tody, for example.

You can see in this image the teal green back feathers.

Shot at a much more reasonable ISO of 5000!!

 

Thanks for looking, etc.:)

Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc ... Always very much appreciated !
